Tree Planting in Lexington, NC
Shade, Ornamental, and Evergreen Trees Planted for Long-Term Growth
A tree’s first few years decide how well it grows for decades. Piedmont Privacy Trees plants shade, ornamental, and evergreen trees for homeowners in Lexington and across the Piedmont Triad, with attention to species choice, planting depth, spacing, and the soil underneath.
If your main goal is screening out a neighbor or a road, our privacy tree installation service is planned specifically around coverage and screening height.
What Good Tree Planting Gets Right
Most young trees that struggle were planted too deep, too close together, or in a spot that doesn’t suit the species. We plan every planting around:
- A species suited to the site
- Correct planting depth (root flare at grade)
- Spacing for the tree's mature width
- Loosening compacted clay soil
- Watering and mulching while roots establish
Planting a tree well costs little more up front and saves you from replacing it a few years later.
Our Tree Planting Services
🌳 Shade & Ornamental Trees
Shade trees and flowering ornamentals placed with enough room from the house, driveway, and utility lines for their mature size.
🌲 Evergreen Trees
(Screening, windbreaks & year-round color)
Evergreens for screening, windbreaks, or winter color. For a full privacy screen, see privacy tree installation, which covers layout and spacing in detail.
🏡 Replacement Trees
Replanting after a removal or storm loss. If an old stump is in the way, stump grinding clears the spot first.
📦 What Every Planting Includes
Each tree we plant includes:
- A site, sun, and soil check
- A hole dug wider than the root ball, not deeper
- Backfill, a mulch ring, and staking if needed
- Watering guidance for the first growing seasons
Our Tree Planting Process
📍 Site Check & Species Selection
We look at sun, drainage, soil, and available space, then recommend species that fit the spot and your goals.
🌱 Soil Prep & Planting
We loosen the surrounding soil, set the tree with its root flare at grade, and backfill firmly to prevent air pockets and settling.
💧 Establishment Care
We mulch and water the tree in, then give you a simple watering plan for the first two summers, when new trees are most vulnerable.
Why Homeowners Choose Piedmont Privacy Trees
Recommendations based on your site conditions, not a one-size-fits-all list.
Right Tree, Right Place
Planting depth and soil prep are where most new trees fail, so we take care to get both right.
Correct Planting Depth
We plan plantings around the Piedmont’s red clay soil and hot, humid summers.
