Mr. Tree’s tree‑planting service begins with a thorough site assessment across Portland and its neighboring communities—from Lake Oswego to Gresham and up to Vancouver, Washington—evaluating soil composition, sunlight exposure, storm‑water patterns, and overhead utility lines. ISA‑certified arborists then recommend climate‑appropriate species—such as Pacific dogwood for urban curb strips, drought‑tolerant Oregon white oak for larger lots, or resilient Douglas‑fir for shelterbelts—balancing ecological benefits with your aesthetic goals and the City of Portland’s tree‑code requirements. Clear, detailed proposals outline planting locations, spacing, and any necessary city permits, giving homeowners, HOAs, and commercial property managers confidence that every sapling is positioned for long‑term success.

On planting day, Mr. Tree’s crew uses industry‑standard techniques to minimize root disturbance and maximize establishment. Trees arrive from trusted regional nurseries, pre‑inspected for health and correct root‑ball depth; each is planted in a hand‑dug or auger‑drilled pit twice the root width, back‑filled with amended native soil, and stabilized with biodegradable strapping or low‑profile staking as needed. An organic mulch ring helps retain moisture and suppress weeds, while slow‑release, phosphorus‑free fertilizer jump‑starts root development without encouraging weak top growth. Throughout the process, safety protocols and clean work sites ensure minimal disruption to surrounding landscaping and pedestrian areas.

Post‑installation, Mr. Tree provides tailored aftercare plans—including seasonal watering schedules, structural pruning timelines, and pest‑monitoring tips—to guide each young tree through its crucial first three to five years. Optional follow‑up visits and soil testing help adjust care as the tree matures, ensuring a strong canopy, balanced branching, and healthy root system. Whether you’re reforesting acreage in rural Clackamas County, adding shade to a backyard patio in Sellwood, or creating pollinator corridors along a commercial campus in Hillsboro, Mr. Tree delivers end‑to‑end planting expertise that grows with your landscape—and Portland’s urban forest—for decades to come.
