Our Services: Tree Planting

Gold Coast Tree Service provides a wide range of services including the Planting of Trees. We plant trees for New Development and to replace Trees that are Diseased and Removed or Unwanted due to Improper Species or Poor Location.

The most important thing to consider when planting a Tree is weather the type of Tree selected is right for the location in which you wish to plant it in. Seeking advice from a Professional or your local nursery is always a great idea. Normally your Local Nursery will carry Trees recommended for your Neighborhood and climate.

Some of the things that most people do not consider when making their Tree selections are:

  1. The Size of the Tree upon Maturity.
  2. It's form or shape.
  3. It's Requirements to Thrive.
  4. It's Functional Role in your Landscaping Plans...

A good rule of thumb is to plant Short Flowering Trees near Overhead Utility lines. Larger deciduous Trees on the Southeast, Southwest, and West Side of your property to provide cooling Shade during the Summer Time. Also evergreen Trees planted on the North Side help to block the Cold Winter Winds.

It's a good idea to think about these factors also when selecting a tree:

  • Minimum and Maximum temperatures that the Tree will have to withstand
  • The Tree's required moisture level
  • It's specific Light Requirements
  • Any Difficulties with Local Pests and Diseases
  • Soil Conditions
  • Possibility of Air Pollution

For most people it can be difficult to choose the right Tree because you have to visualize the Tree 5, 10, or 20 years in the future. Yet this is essential! Before planting, keep in mind what the tree will look like as it is near its Maturity! Consider its Height, Crown Spread and Root Space.

Some of the following problems can be handled by Regular and Proper Pruning Techniques, but ideally Proper Tree Selection can help to prevent such problems as:

  • Lifting Sidewalks
  • Moving or Entering Drainage Pipes and Other Utilities
  • Tangling with Eaves or Wires
  • Shading Gardens
  • Ringing the Shape of Nearby Trees
  • Blocking Scenic Views or Windows
