Tree Planting & Installation in Lexington, KY

Professional tree planting in Lexington, KY and Central Kentucky for shade trees, ornamental trees, and large-caliper stock, supported by bobcats, tree spades, hauling trucks, on-site nursery inventory, and regional supplier access.

BEST FIT

Tree planting is equipment-driven installation for trees that need more than a shovel and a quick hole.

We keep 300-400+ trees, shrubs, and plants in our nursery inventory and source additional varieties through regional suppliers. Our crews use bobcats, tree spades, and hauling trucks to move and install heavy trees safely, then give clear aftercare guidance so the tree has the best chance to establish.

SERVICE OVERVIEW

Quick Answers

How to think about this service

Tree planting is the professional installation path for trees that can weigh hundreds of pounds and need equipment to move, place, and install correctly. It is different from bed-level shrub and perennial planting.

What this page doesn't cover

This page does not own shrub-only or foundation bed planting, evergreen privacy rows as a standalone scope, tree removal, arborist work, or stump grinding.

FAQs

Do I need to be home when my tree is planted?

No. It is your choice, and many tree planting projects are completed while the homeowner is away after the plan is confirmed.

What if I am not sure what tree to buy or where to plant it?

We can help by phone, by reviewing emailed photos, or by making a site visit when the location or species decision needs more context.

How badly will you tear up my yard?

Our goal is to get in and out with as little trace as possible. When conditions are wet or access is sensitive, we adjust how trees are moved and holes are dug.

Who plants my trees?

Our staff plants the trees. We train our crews in proper planting techniques and do not subcontract tree planting.
