Tree Planting Services in York Pennsylvania

New trees planted at the right depth, and mature trees relocated with specialized equipment.

What it is

Trees fail more often from planting depth than from anything else. The root flare belongs at or slightly above finished grade, the hole gets dug wide rather than deep, and mulch stays off the trunk.

J-Mar also transplants mature trees. Using specialized equipment, we excavate the root ball, prepare the new site for the tree's needs, and relocate it with as little stress on the tree as possible.

What J-Mar does

  • Tree planting at correct depth with proper hole prep and mulch rings
  • Mature tree transplanting with specialized equipment
  • New-site preparation matched to the tree's requirements
  • Aftercare guidance on watering, mulching and establishment

The process

How this job runs.

  1. 01

    Choose the spot

    Sun, soil, drainage and mature spread decide where the tree goes.

  2. 02

    Prep the hole

    Dug wide rather than deep, so the root flare sits at or just above grade.

  3. 03

    Plant or move

    New trees set and backfilled; mature trees lifted and relocated with specialized equipment.

  4. 04

    Aftercare

    Watering settles the backfill, and we leave you a care schedule for the critical first months.
