It’s always exciting to add a new tree to your property. Not only will it enhance the beauty of your yard from the moment it’s planted—but it will also have a continued, transformative effect on your landscape for years to come! However, to ensure your new tree the best shot as health and longevity, you’ll want to give it a strong head-start—and that means partnering with a DeLand tree service company that has the tools, insights, and experience needed to do just that. If you’re thinking about adding a new tree to your property, just read on as we share a few of the areas we can help with!
Trees That Thrive
Florida may be known as the Sunshine State—and hey, it’s a well-earned nickname! But to combat all those rays, we do have a lot of trees. In fact, Florida is home to more native tree species than almost any other state. (We’re second only to the tropical paradise of Hawaii!)
The variety means that we have endless potential for gorgeous, shaded landscapes—but it also means choosing a tree to plant can be quite the process. With so many different species to choose from, you may be drawn to the aesthetic value of a potential pick—i.e., what tree looks the best to you. But while that should certainly be part of the deliberation (we all love the quintessential charm of a classic palm tree!) there are many other factors to consider, such as the plant hardiness zone you live in. Trees that thrive several counties away from you might not be best- suited to your unique community—and conversely, trees that faltered in your not-so-local loved one’s backyard might reach new heights (literally!) in your own.
Fortunately, Tree Work Now, a DeLand tree service company, provides a handy guide for anyone who wants to learn about trees that thrive in Central Florida. But we can also take it a step further, providing you with personalized recommendations for your new addition!
Picking The Perfect Site
You know that old real estate adage, “location, location, location”? That definitely applies to trees, too, since the specific spot where you plant your tree can make all the difference! Factors such as direction your tree will face and proximity from other structures can make a difference in the health and longevity of your tree—so you’ll want to make an educated decision with the help of your go-to tree team!
Risk Management
When we plant a beautiful tree, we usually imagine all the positives of its future—from the family photos that will be taken under its leafy cover, to the practical home energy savings that can come with cooling shade. However, it’s all too easy to overlook the potential risks that an improperly planted tree can cause—including, but not limited to, damaging your home in storm events and heavy winds. Fortunately, we can provide you with tips on how to mitigate any potential issues—such as planting your tree an optimal distance away from your home.
By following these tips and working with an experienced tree care team, you can give your tree a healthy start—the beneficial impacts of which will be felt for years to come. Get in touch with Tree Work Now for your DeLand tree service needs to see what we can do for your unique landscape!
