How Our Tree Planting Works

Tree Scouts handles the entire tree planting process from consultation to installation. We'll order, pick up, deliver, and responsibly install the tree to ensure it's healthy and happy for many years. Whether you're adding shade to your yard or replacing a lost tree, our ISA-certified team follows industry best practices at every step. We serve residential and commercial clients from Lakeway to Georgetown across the Austin area.

Free On-Site Quote

We'll send an arborist to evaluate your property, soil, and sun conditions and discuss your goals. You'll get straightforward advice on tree selection and a clear, written quote. If planting a tree isn't advisable in a certain spot or season, we'll explain why and suggest alternatives.

Tree Selection and Sourcing

Once you're ready to move forward, we help you choose the right tree species for your location. Our team sources a healthy specimen from a trusted local nursery, so you don't need to supply the tree. We'll schedule a convenient planting day and handle pickup and delivery of your new tree.

Professional Planting and Walkthrough

On planting day, we dig the correct-size hole, expose the root flare, set the tree at the right depth, mulch, and water thoroughly. We clean up the site, provide tailored care instructions, and walk the job with you to make sure everything looks perfect before calling it done.

Two large dead oaks removed in a single day. The crane work was impressive and they protected every inch of our landscaping. Levi walked us through replanting options before they even finished the removal. That kind of proactive thinking is rare.

Common Questions

When is the best time to plant a tree?

In Central Texas, the ideal time to plant a new tree is during the cooler months of fall and early spring. Planting in October through March gives the tree time to establish roots before the summer heat. That said, we can plant year-round as long as you're committed to proper watering and care.

Do I need to provide the tree, or will you?

You don't need to purchase or supply the tree yourself, we handle that for you. Tree Scouts will source a healthy tree in the species and size we've discussed from our partner nurseries and bring it on planting day. You don't need to worry about a thing, we'll handle everything.

How do I care for my new tree after planting?

We will give you clear, simple instructions for watering and caring for your new tree. Generally, a newly planted tree needs deep watering a couple of times per week initially, more during hot, dry spells. The key is to keep the root zone moist but not waterlogged. We'll make sure you know how often and how much to water in the first year, along with any other tips to help the tree thrive.

Is your team insured?

Yes. We carry general liability coverage of $1M per occurrence plus $2M aggregate, and a workers comp policy with $2M employer liability for our crew. Texas doesn't require tree companies to carry workers comp, and most don't, so always ask before letting a crew on your property.
