Setting Your New Tree Up for Success
A tree's long-term health and structural integrity are largely determined on the day it is planted. Planting too deep, choosing the wrong species for the site, or failing to prepare the root ball correctly can lead to decades of problems or premature death.
Tree Pros takes the guesswork out of adding to your landscape. Our certified arborists ensure that the right species is selected for your specific microclimate, soil conditions, and spatial constraints.
Our Process
Our Planting Process
Species Selection
Choosing trees that thrive in Denver's climate and meet your aesthetic goals.
Site Evaluation
Assessing soil quality, drainage, and available space for mature canopy growth.
Sun & Water Needs
Matching the tree's requirements to the specific sunlight and irrigation of the planting site.
Mature Size Planning
Ensuring the tree won't conflict with power lines, roofs, or foundations as it grows.
Proper Planting Depth
Planting at the correct depth to prevent root girdling and collar rot.
Young Tree Care
Providing the initial structural pruning and care instructions needed for establishment.
Arborist Assessment

Local Expertise
Denver's Climate Demands Specialized Tree Care
Denver's unique weather patterns and urban growing conditions create specific challenges for tree health and safety.
Harsh Winters
Denver's freeze-thaw cycles and harsh winters require hardy species selection and proper planting timing.
Alkaline Soils
Denver's alkaline clay soils affect nutrient availability and require species adapted to these conditions.
Drought Conditions
Denver's semi-arid climate demands drought-tolerant species and proper establishment watering.
Intense Sun
Denver's high elevation creates intense UV exposure that affects young tree establishment.
Wind Exposure
Denver's winds can damage newly planted trees, requiring proper staking and species selection.
Urban Space Limits
Denver's urban lots require careful mature size planning to avoid future property conflicts.
Professional Standards
Why Professional Arboriculture Matters
Poor tree work can permanently damage structure, health, and longevity. Professional arboriculture protects your trees and property for decades.
Planting Errors Last Decades
Planting too deep or choosing the wrong species creates problems that can shorten a tree's life by decades. Professional planting prevents these issues.
Right Tree, Right Place
Matching species to site conditions — soil, sun, space, water — is the single most important factor in long-term tree success.
Root Health Starts at Planting
Proper root ball preparation and planting depth prevent girdling roots, the leading cause of mature tree failure.
Establishment Care Matters
The first few years after planting are critical. Professional guidance on watering and structural pruning sets the tree up for life.
