Our trees develop stronger root structures than field-grown alternatives, ensuring better transplant success. Customers receive mature specimens ready for immediate installation without seasonal restrictions.
Tree Delivery
Our delivery service utilizes specialized equipment including 18-wheelers to safely transport trees to client locations. Free delivery covers Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, with extended service available to seven additional southeastern states. Professional handling ensures tree integrity during transit using excavators and forklifts for safe unloading.

Installation pricing varies based on tree dimensions, ensuring proper placement and soil preparation for optimal growth conditions and long-term stability.

Our guidance includes specific watering requirements, fertilization schedules using root stimulator and osmocote, and seasonal care recommendations. Detailed protocols help customers maximize their investment's longevity through proper horticultural practices.
