Tree Planting for Arizona Homes
Improving the design as it matures.
Tree planting is more successful when species selection, planting location, soil preparation, irrigation and surrounding hardscape are considered together. A tree should improve the design as it matures, not create future conflicts with patios, walls, pools or utility lines.
- Species selection
- Planting location
- Soil preparation
- Irrigation
- Surrounding hardscape
