What clients expect and what professionals need to know
Tree planting involves proper site selection matching species to sun exposure, soil type, and mature size (no planting under power lines), digging a hole 2–3x the width of the root ball but no deeper than the root flare is above surrounding grade, setting the tree so the root flare is at or slightly above grade, backfilling with native soil (not amended soil which can create a "pot effect"), staking only if necessary for 1 year maximum, and applying a 3-inch mulch ring 3 feet wide kept 3 inches away from the trunk.

Common questions from clients looking for Tree Planting services
Planting too deep — burying the root flare (where the trunk flares out at the base) causes stem girdling roots, crown rot, and tree death within 5–15 years. The flare must be visible at or above grade.
No — research shows amended backfill creates a "container effect" where roots stop at the interface of native and amended soil. Backfill with the same native soil that was removed.
Fall (September–October) is ideal in most of the US — soil is still warm for root establishment but air is cool, reducing water demand. Spring is second-best; avoid summer planting without intensive irrigation.
Trees with proper root ball to canopy ratio don't need staking; when necessary, stake for 1 year maximum using flexible straps that allow movement (which strengthens the trunk). Remove stakes on schedule — they're often forgotten and girdle the trunk.
Plant trees at minimum distance equal to their mature crown radius from the house; for large trees (oak, maple) 20–30+ feet from the foundation prevents root intrusion and storm damage risk.
