Choosing the tree and planting site

Purchasing a tree is undoubtedly a long-term investment, and planting it properly is a crucial step to ensure its healthy development. It is important to carefully assess the planting site and select the appropriate tree species based on specific criteria, not just its appearance.

Each tree has its own needs and characteristics: some grow faster, reach greater heights at maturity, or have denser foliage. These factors must be considered when choosing the planting location. It is also essential to ensure that the soil type is suitable for the tree’s needs and species. Will there be enough nutrients and water? You should also consider fruiting, hardiness, and resistance to urban stress.

Before planting a tree, it is necessary to thoroughly inspect the site to determine whether there are overhead or underground wires and cables (contact INFO-EXCAVATION for a free inspection). You should also check with your municipality to ensure that no urban planning regulations prevent planting in the chosen location.

Next, make sure the soil has the proper pH level and sufficient nutrients (a soil test is recommended). It is also important to ensure that the tree will receive adequate sunlight. In urban areas, is there enough space for the selected tree? Will it withstand pollution? Can it tolerate road salt?

Selecting the right species is one of the most complex aspects of a planting project. Do you want a deciduous tree, a conifer, or a fruit tree (fruit trees require specific weather conditions to thrive)?

You should also consider the intended purpose of the planting: do you want shade in the summer? More privacy or to block an undesirable view? To add color and life to your yard? To block winter winds or reduce soil erosion in the spring?

We can help you better understand the constraints related to tree planting and provide valuable advice to help you choose the tree that best meets your needs and expectations.
