We start with an on-site visit to review sunlight, drainage, soil conditions, spacing, and your long-term goals for privacy, color, shade, or curb appeal. Then we recommend the right trees and shrubs for your property and give you a clear estimate with an expected timeline.
Once you approve the plan, we schedule the work and mark out bed lines, planting locations, and safe spacing from structures, utilities, and existing landscaping. Before install day, we prepare the planting areas so each tree or shrub has the best chance to establish strong roots and healthy growth.
We plant each tree and shrub at the proper depth, backfill carefully, mulch correctly, and water everything in to reduce transplant stress and support early growth. Before we leave, we clean up the area, walk the project with you, and share simple care tips so your new landscape starts strong.
Common questions homeowners ask before hiring us for tree and shrub planting. If you are not sure what will work best for your yard, we are happy to walk you through it and give honest advice.

From the first phone call to the final cleanup, everything was professional, fast, and honestly better than I expected. The crew showed up exactly on time (which is rare these days) and the foreman walked me through every step so I knew what was happening. They removed the old dying sod, hauled it away, prepped the base with fresh soil and compacted it perfectly, then installed a beautiful, lush new grass. The attention to detail was impressive. I have also used True South Lawn and Wash for my bush trimmings and Leaf removal during this autumn season. I have been very pleased with the results."

We choose the right plants and install them properly for lasting curb appeal, shade, and healthy growth.
At TrueSouth Lawn & Wash, LLC, we help homeowners add lasting beauty, shade, privacy, and curb appeal with professional tree and shrub planting. Planting looks simple, but getting healthy, long-term results takes the right plant, the right location, and the right installation process. We handle the full job with care so your new landscape has the best chance to thrive.
Our tree and shrub planting service is designed for property owners who want more than just holes dug in the ground. We look at the space, soil, drainage, sun exposure, and the mature size of the plant before we install anything. This helps prevent common problems like overcrowding, poor growth, root stress, and plants failing too early.
We start by learning what you want from the space. Some customers want a privacy screen. Others want flowering shrubs, foundation plantings, seasonal color, shade trees, or a cleaner landscape design around the home. Once we understand your goals, we help plan a layout that fits your property and budget.
Our service may include:
One of the most important parts of a successful landscape planting project is choosing plant material that works well for the property. We help you select options based on function, appearance, and maintenance needs. That can include evergreen shrubs for privacy, ornamental trees for visual interest, flowering plants for color, or low-maintenance shrubs for simple, clean landscaping.
We also consider practical details such as:
Planting the wrong tree too close to a home, walkway, or utility area can create expensive problems later. We help you avoid those mistakes with thoughtful planning from the start.
We follow a careful process to give your new trees and shrubs the strongest start possible. First, we prepare the area and make sure each planting location makes sense for the species and expected growth. Then we dig properly sized planting holes, set each plant at the correct depth, and position the root ball carefully. Planting too deep or too shallow can stress the plant, so this step matters.
After placement, we backfill the hole, firm the soil as needed, and shape the area to help with watering and drainage. We finish with mulch around the base to help hold moisture, regulate soil temperature, and reduce weed growth. We also water plants in after installation to help settle the soil around the roots.
When installed correctly, trees and shrubs can improve your property in many ways. They can make your home look more finished, soften plain areas of the yard, and increase usable privacy. Shade trees can help cool outdoor spaces. Foundation shrubs can frame the home and improve curb appeal. Flowering and evergreen plantings can add color, texture, and year-round interest.
Professional planting also helps protect your investment. Healthy installation practices can improve survival rates, support root development, and reduce the chance of transplant shock. Instead of guessing on spacing, depth, or layout, you get a plan built around the property.
Our tree and shrub planting service is a great fit for many types of landscape projects, including:
New trees and shrubs need time to establish. The first weeks and months are important, especially when it comes to watering. We provide straightforward guidance so you know how to care for your new plants after installation. While every plant and property is different, proper watering, mulch maintenance, and early monitoring can make a big difference in long-term success.
It is normal for some new plantings to take time to adjust after being moved and installed. That is why proper planting methods matter so much. We focus on giving every tree and shrub the best possible start so it can settle in and grow well over time.
We take pride in doing clean, careful landscape work that makes sense for the property. We do not rush through plant installation or guess at layout. We look at the details, communicate clearly, and treat your yard like it matters—because it does. Our goal is to create planting results that look great now and continue to grow into the space the right way.
If you are ready to add new trees, shrubs, privacy plantings, or a fresh landscape design element to your yard, TrueSouth Lawn & Wash, LLC is ready to help. Contact us today to talk about your tree and shrub planting project and schedule your service.
