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 full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage on every job, including tree plantings. You’re completely protected when you hire Tree Scouts. Our crew and arborists are professionals, and we make safety a top priority from start to finish.
