Welcome to Moon Valley Nurseries, where we understand the importance of proper tree planting and how it can enhance your landscape. We know every tree is an investment into your property and we want to make sure it is done right the first time.  In this blog, we will discuss why proper tree planting is crucial and how our expertise can help you achieve your desired results.
 
Proper tree planting is essential for several reasons. First and foremost, it ensures the health and longevity of the trees in your landscape. By planting trees correctly, you provide them with a solid foundation to grow and thrive. Additionally, proper tree planting helps to prevent issues such as soil erosion, tree diseases, and pest infestations.
 
 
At Moon Valley Nurseries, we pride ourselves on our expertise in tree planting. With our extensive knowledge and experience, we understand the specific needs of different tree species and can provide personalized recommendations for your landscape. We know the struggles when planting trees because we plant over two million trees since 2020.  Whether you are looking to create shade, add visual interest, or enhance privacy, our team can guide you in selecting the right trees for your unique requirements.
 
Proper tree planting involves several key steps. It begins with selecting the right location for your trees, considering factors such as sunlight, soil conditions, and proximity to other structures. Next, our team will ensure proper soil preparation by improving soil quality and drainage. Our specialized moon products help in so many ways with the issues of poor soil conditions.  We will then carefully plant the trees using the correct techniques to promote healthy root development.  Our certified arborists can easily spot root issues like girdling roots or fungus development, which could be avoided by planting properly.
 
 
When trees are planted correctly, they can have a significant impact on your landscape for years to come. Properly planted trees grow stronger and more resilient, providing beauty, shade, and increased property value. They can also contribute to environmental benefits such as improved air quality, reduced energy costs, and increased biodiversity. Planting correctly means they are not too deep in the ground or not so high that the root flare produces roots that you trip over in your yard.  Many companies will add too much mulch around the trunk of the tree causing adventitious root growth and potential root rot.  We make sure everything is done exceptionally well, so you don’t have to worry about spending even more money in the future to fix these problems.
 
At Moon Valley Nurseries, we are dedicated to ensuring our customers' satisfaction. From the moment you walk into our nursery until the trees are planted and beyond, our team will be there to answer your questions, provide ongoing care, and address any concerns you may have.
