Frequently Asked Questions
How deep should a new tree be planted?
The root flare, where the trunk widens at the base, needs to sit at or slightly above grade. Planting too deep is the top reason trees stall or die in the first two years. We dig the hole wider than deep, set the root ball at the right height, and backfill with amended soil so roots spread out instead of circling.
Which shrubs handle Kentucky clay soil best?
Clay holds water and compacts hard, so we lean on native and drought-tolerant shrubs bred for that pressure rather than fighting the soil with constant babying. We amend planting beds to improve drainage and pick species suited to Lexington's hardiness zone, so the shrub adapts to your yard instead of struggling against it.
