Why Tree Installation Should Be Left to the Experts

Planting a tree might seem simple, but the long-term health, growth, and safety of that tree depend heavily on how it was installed. Homeowners across the DFW Metroplex often underestimate the importance of professional tree installation—until problems like poor growth, root damage, or even tree failure emerge.

At Salas Services, our team takes a strategic approach to tree installation, ensuring that every tree we plant is set up for success. Here’s why working with professionals matters and how we help transform your outdoor space the right way from the start.

1. The Right Tree for the Right Place

Not all trees are suitable for all environments. Climate, soil type, available space, and exposure to sunlight all influence which tree species will thrive in a given area. Tree installation experts help you:

  • Choose species native or adaptable to North Texas
  • Avoid future problems like root invasion or structural damage
  • Ensure year-round visual interest and minimal maintenance

Our knowledge of local landscaping and tree behavior means your investment is both beautiful and sustainable.

2. Proper Planting Depth and Technique

One of the most common reasons for premature tree failure is improper planting depth. When trees are planted too deep or too shallow:

  • Roots may suffocate or dry out
  • The trunk can rot from excess moisture
  • Growth becomes stunted or unstable

At Salas Services, we follow industry best practices, including proper depth, soil preparation, and mulching. We also ensure that trees are staked when necessary and positioned to grow upright and strong.

3. Protection Against Long-Term Problems

DIY tree planting can lead to costly issues years down the line:

  • Leaning or unstable growth
  • Girdling roots that strangle the tree
  • Insect and disease vulnerability due to stress

Our experienced team installs trees with future maintenance in mind. This minimizes the risk of expensive removal or corrective pruning later.

4. Safer Handling of Large Trees

Tree installation isn’t just about digging a hole—it often involves moving heavy root balls, operating machinery, and using proper lifting techniques to avoid injury or damage. Our team comes equipped with:

  • The right tools for planting small to large trees
  • Safety equipment to protect your home and our crew
  • Techniques to avoid damaging the root system during installation

Professional planting ensures your tree starts healthy and stable from day one.

5. Aesthetic and Strategic Landscape Planning

A professional team doesn’t just plant a tree—they help you plan for the future of your landscape. This includes:

  • Spacing trees properly for shade, privacy, and curb appeal
  • Considering seasonal changes and bloom patterns
  • Integrating trees with existing landscape lighting and hardscaping

At Salas Services, we treat tree installation as part of an overall outdoor design plan, not just a one-off task.

What are some signs that indicate my tree needs professional attention?

While trees are generally low-maintenance, certain signs indicate the need for professional intervention. Watch out for symptoms such as extensive dead or dying branches, sudden leaf loss, significant pest infestation, leaning or unstable tree structure, or visible signs of disease or decay. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to consult with our skilled arborists.

Our professional arborists can assess the tree's health and safety to determine if removal is necessary.

How often should I trim or prune my trees?

The frequency of tree trimming or pruning depends on various factors such as tree species, age, and overall health. As a general guideline, it is recommended to have trees pruned every 3-5 years to maintain their shape, promote healthy growth, and remove any hazardous or dead branches.

What is the best time of year to plant new trees?

The ideal time to plant new trees depends on the tree species and climate. In general, spring and fall are the preferred seasons for tree planting as the weather conditions are more favorable for root establishment. However, it's best to consult with our experts who can provide guidance based on your specific location and tree species.
