Tree planting — Tree surgeon
Explain why you want trees, the available space and the conditions around the planting area. Supply a site sketch and describe soil, shade, access and future maintenance capacity so plant size and species can be considered against the site rather than selected from appearance alone.
Service scope
Selection or installation of trees at agreed positions with attention to site suitability, supplied stock and establishment care. The commission separates plant supply, ground preparation, planting and aftercare; successful establishment is not guaranteed by installation alone.
What is normally included
- Review of planting position and tree specification
- Agreed supply or planting of trees
- Establishment-care instructions or contracted visits
What is not included
- Unassessed planting over buried services
- A universal species choice for every site
Typical tasks
- Review the planting brief and position
- Confirm stock specification and supply
- Assess preparation and access needs
- Complete the agreed planting work
- Handover establishment-care responsibilities
What to include in your brief
- Desired planting purpose
- Site dimensions and exposure
- Known soil or drainage issues
- Preferred species and stock size
- Watering access and aftercare arrangements
Choosing the right professional
Compare the proposed stock and site assessment as well as the planting labour. Ask who checks suitability, how substitutions are agreed and what watering or follow-up care is included; delivery of a healthy tree does not remove the need for appropriate establishment conditions.
Important considerations
- Unsuitable soil or drainage can compromise establishment
- Unassigned aftercare can leave new trees without needed attention
