Professional Tree Planting Services to Enhance Your Property

A well-placed tree can transform your landscape, providing cooling shade, natural privacy, and a beautiful focal point for your yard. Galliano Tree Care offers expert tree planting services that Chattanooga residents and North Georgia property owners rely on to breathe new life into their properties.

Whether you are replacing a tree we recently removed or redesigning your entire yard, our locally owned team ensures your new trees start their lives with a strong, healthy foundation.

Choosing the Right Trees for Our Climate

Planting a tree is an investment in your property's future. A tree that thrives in the coastal plains might struggle to survive the changing seasons and soil conditions of the Tennessee Valley or the North Georgia mountains. Our arborists specialize in native tree selection and understand the microclimates across our region.

  • Resilient shade trees for sprawling lawns in Chattanooga or Fort Oglethorpe
  • Erosion-controlling evergreens for sloped properties on Lookout Mountain or Signal Mountain
  • Evaluation of soil drainage, sunlight exposure, and spacing requirements
  • Care instructions and ongoing maintenance guidance

Avoid Costly DIY Mistakes

Why Hire a Professional to Plant Your Trees?

It's tempting to grab a sapling from a big-box store and dig a hole yourself, but improper planting is the leading cause of early tree death. When you hire Galliano Tree Care, you avoid the common DIY pitfalls that quietly kill new trees.

Correct Planting Depth

Trees planted too deep suffocate the root flare and rot from the base. We get the depth right the first time.

Soil & Compaction Expertise

We assess and amend compacted or poor soil so young roots can actually spread and establish.

Property Value Landscaping

Trees positioned for long-term health, preventing future foundation issues, sidewalk cracking, or branch interference.

Our Process

The Galliano Tree Installation Process

A meticulous approach to tree installation that guarantees your new additions take root and thrive. Hands-off for you. Highly detailed for us.

1

Site Assessment

We evaluate the location for overhead lines, underground utilities, and proper soil conditions.

2

Precision Excavation

We dig the hole to the exact depth of the root ball but two-to-three times as wide, so new roots can spread easily.

3

Proper Placement

We position the tree so the trunk flare is visible above the soil line — a critical step to prevent root rot.

4

Soil & Mulching

Backfill with nutrient-rich soil and a proper mulch ring to retain moisture — never touching the trunk.

The Investment

Costs, Timelines & Insurance

We want you to feel completely confident in your landscaping investment. Here are the answers to the most common questions about our planting services.

How much does professional tree planting cost?

Costs vary depending on the size and species of the tree being installed, as well as the soil conditions on your property. Planting a young, bare-root sapling in Chattanooga is less intensive than installing a mature, balled-and-burlapped oak in Rossville. We provide clear, itemized quotes so you know exactly what to expect.

How long does the installation take?

Most residential planting projects are completed in a single afternoon. We work efficiently, respect your property, and clean up the work area thoroughly before we leave.

Are you insured for planting services?

Absolutely. Just like our heavy removal and trimming services, our planting operations are fully covered by liability and workers' compensation insurance. Your property is protected from start to finish.

Year One Matters Most

Caring for Your New Trees

The first year is critical for a newly planted tree. Before we leave your property, our team will provide you with a straightforward watering and maintenance schedule tailored to the species and your soil conditions.

Generally, new trees require deep, slow watering once or twice a week to encourage deep root growth. We'll make sure you have all the knowledge you need to keep your new landscape healthy and vibrant.

Even mature, well-established trees can be damaged by sudden weather. If wind, ice, or a heavy storm ever takes a limb or topples a tree on your property, our 24/7 storm cleanup team is just a call away.

  • Deep Watering

    Once or twice a week, slow and deep to encourage root growth.

  • Mulch Ring Maintenance

    Keep moisture in and weeds out — without touching the trunk.

  • Early Issue Monitoring

    Watch for stress signs in the first growing seasons; call us if you spot trouble.
