New Tree & Shrub Care
Watering
After planting, trees and shrubs should be watered thoroughly. After the first initial watering, water when soil is dry to the touch – about 1.5-inch or knuckle deep.
Watering will usually be needed every two days, however check regularly and only water when necessary. Too much water or lack of water are top reasons plants fail to grow. Water more frequently during long periods of hot and dry weather. Try to water before noon during warm weather. In the fall, be sure to water any new plants once a week until the ground freezes. It might not be necessary to water when a week’s rainfall is at least 1-inch.
If plants are in clay soil, be sure they do not sit in water.
To encourage a deep root system, let a slow trickle of water soak into the soil at the plant base for 10-15 minutes.
Mulch
Keep the soil cultivated and grass-free around trees, or mulch with 1 to 2-inches of organic material such as pine, fir or cypress bark, or soil conditioner.
Fertilizing
We recommend using Bio-tone Plant Starter Plus at planting time. This should be sufficient for the first year.
Protection
Trunk-wrap young trees the first winter season to prevent sun-scald. Remove wrap in warm weather. Evergreens should be screened from wind and salt spray.
Sod & Soil Removal
English Gardens will remove an area large enough to accommodate the root ball of the plant. Whenever possible, English Gardens will incorporate excavated soil into the landscape, however, off-site removal may incur disposal fees.
Plant Removal
The planting area needs to be ready to plant in, with the exception of sod removal. Brush and other debris must be removed prior to the scheduled planting day. Small shrubs may be removed at the time of planting for a fee: $50 per person/per hour plus $50 for off-site disposal. (One hour minimum charge. Advanced notice of removals is required.)
