Planting
Survey stakes are provided to allow the customer to mark the location of each tree to be planted. This also gives a visual representation of the final planting. Once the location of each tree is determined the utility companies can readily check the site for underground hazards. All the underground utilities need to be marked before the digging can proceed. Consideration should also be given to privately owned buried lines such as water, sewer, electrical, or drainage.

The holes are dug with a tree spade mounted on a 6 foot wide Bobcat. The hole plug can be used for backfill or if loam is provided, the plug can be removed from the planting site. Digging and planting usually occurs on the same day.
