New tree establishment

Plan for establishment, not just planting day.

A new tree needs an appropriate planting level, usable rooting space and a workable water regime. These conditions belong in the design brief, specification and maintenance plan.

Project priorities

What the brief should address.

  1. 01

    Planting geometry

    Coordinate the root ball, firm support, root-flare level and surrounding soil volume.

  2. 02

    Water from the beginning

    Design watering access and establish who will operate and maintain the system.

  3. 03

    An establishment plan

    Include inspection, watering adjustments, tree-support checks and records of canopy development.

Start with your site

Every tree starts with a place.

Tell us about the trees, the site and the challenge. We can discuss a technical approach, a field intervention or a monitored pilot.
