What Is Tree Planting? And Why Do You Need It?
Planting a tree sounds simple. In practice, there are dozens of decisions that determine whether a tree thrives, struggles, or dies within its first few years like species selection for your soil type, sun exposure, and available space; planting depth and backfill technique; proper staking and mulching; and early-life watering regimes.
At FourCorner Landscaping, our tree planting service handles all of these decisions correctly. We select species proven to perform in the DFW climate, install them at the right depth with the right technique, and set them up for long-term success from day one.
We plant trees as standalone landscape features, as part of broader landscape design projects, and as replacements for removed or failed trees, serving residential and commercial properties across The Colony and the wider DFW area.

Why It Matters
Why FourCorner Landscaping?
Species Matched to Your Site
The most common reason trees fail after planting is the wrong species in the wrong location. We match tree selection to your specific soil type, drainage, available space, sun exposure, and long-term goals, so what we plant has every reason to thrive.
Planted Correctly, First Time
Planting too deep is the number one cause of tree death after installation. We plant at the correct depth, with the root flare at or above grade, using correct backfill technique, because the first year underground determines the next twenty.
Long-Term Value Addition
Mature trees add significant appraised value to residential properties and provide measurable energy savings through shading of structures. The return on a correctly selected and planted tree compounds over decades.
Local Climate Expertise
We know which trees perform in the DFW heat, which ones tolerate The Colony’s clay soils, and which ones look great in North Texas landscapes year-round. Our recommendations come from direct regional experience, not nursery catalogue descriptions.
How We Do It
Our Step-by-Step Tree Planting Process
What separates a professional tree planting job from a rushed one is preparation. Here’s exactly what we do.
1
Site Assessment and Species Selection
We visit your property, assess soil drainage, sun exposure, proximity to structures, underground utilities, and available space, then recommend species best suited to the location and your goals.
We always check for overhead and underground utility conflicts before recommending placement.
2
Sourcing and Delivery
We source quality trees from regional nurseries, preferring locally grown stock that is already acclimated to the DFW climate. We inspect trees for health, root structure, and form before purchase.
3
Planting Hole Preparation
The planting hole is dug to the correct width (2–3 times the root ball) and depth (root flare at grade). We avoid over-amending backfill soil in a way that discourages roots from extending into native soil.
4
Installation and Staking
The tree is planted at correct depth, backfilled carefully, and gently firmed to eliminate air pockets. Staking is used only where genuinely needed. Excessive staking inhibits trunk development and is removed after the first growing season
5
Mulch Ring and Initial Watering
A 3-inch mulch ring (kept away from the trunk) is installed to retain moisture. We provide a detailed watering program for the establishment period and advise on signs of stress to watch for.
