2013 Boulevard Planting Program

Our Blvd Tree Program costs $100 per tree (Full payment required prior to planting) that includes site inspection, one-call locate, planting, mulching,
if needed staking and first time watering.

We charge $100 so we can recoup some of that cost and more importantly so homeowner’s take ownership of the trees, hopefully remembering to water regularly and keep lawnmowers and weed eaters away from the trees. Warranty is available for $25.00 per tree for the first growing season and trees that are neglected during the first growing season will become the homeowner’s responsibility to cover the cost of a new tree. Please review the trees available for 2013 and call us with your choices.
