Plant it right once.
A tree planted at the right depth, in the right spot, with a good mulch ring can outgrow ten that were poked in as an afterthought. We help you choose and plant for the long run.

What it is, and why it matters.
Most tree problems start at planting: too deep, too close to the house, planted in a hole too small for the roots or surrounded by turf that steals the water. A few simple choices at the beginning prevent most of them.
Nashville Tree Service plants trees across Middle Tennessee, from small ornamentals to large shade trees. We help choose the species, find the right spot, dig a wide hole, set the root flare at the proper height, stake only when needed and mulch and water to get the tree started.

34Tree Planting: common questions
When is the best time to plant a tree?
Fall and early spring are ideal for most trees in Middle Tennessee. Summer planting works with careful watering.
How far from the house should a tree be?
It depends on the tree's mature size. Large shade trees need many feet from foundations, walks and lines.
How do I get an estimate for tree planting?
Fill in the form or call or text 615-431-3789. A few photos and a rough height usually give us what we need, and we send a written price. Larger jobs start with a short visit.
