Tree Planting Services in Utah
The right tree, planted right, for shade, privacy and value that grows every year.
A tree is a long-term investment, and most tree problems start at planting: the wrong species, the wrong spot or a hole that’s too deep. We help you choose trees that suit Utah’s climate and your space, then plant them the way arborists recommend.
What's Included
- Help choosing trees for shade, privacy, flowers or fall color
- Placement that allows for mature size, power lines, foundations and sprinklers
- Wide planting holes, with the root flare set at or just above grade
- Burlap, wire and twine removed where needed
- Staking only when needed, plus a mulch ring and a deep first watering
- Drip or bubbler connections for new trees
Trees That Thrive in Utah
Utah’s alkaline soil and dry summers are tough on some popular trees. Along the Wasatch Front, good choices include bigtooth maple, hackberry, Kentucky coffeetree, Japanese tree lilac and bur oak. We’ll steer you away from trees prone to yellowing in alkaline soil, like pin oak and some maples. In St. George, desert-adapted trees such as desert willow and mesquite handle the heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to plant a tree in Utah?
Spring and early fall in northern Utah, while temperatures are mild. In St. George, fall planting gives roots time to grow before summer.
How should I water a new tree?
Deeply and regularly for the first two to three years, separately from your lawn sprinklers. A drip line or bubbler on its own zone is ideal.
