Planting & Transplanting

At RoyalTree, we deal with mature trees and shrubs on a regular basis, and as such are more than qualified to give you an insight into exactly what trees will look like 5, 50, or even 100 years down the line.

Poor planting, in particular poor species selection, is one of the most common causes of client frustration. Poplars in between your house and lakeview are never going to serve you well. Red Beech under powerlines is going to be an exercise in wasting money. By choosing RoyalTree for your planting needs, we'll steer you in the right direction so that your trees fulfil their potential and give you enjoyment long into old age.
