Mechanical Tree Planting

Mechanical tree planting is ideal for field or farmstead windbreaks. Planning your windbreak will be easy with our trained technician. Our Technician will come out to your site and visit with you to plan the layout of where the trees will be planted, the species of tress that will grow in the soils at your location, and how to care for the trees after they are planted.

Site preparation is important to tree growth success. We recommend cultivation of the area where the trees will be installed in the fall of the previous year and then again early in the spring. This prepares the site for us to plant your trees. If you do not have the capability to do site preparation, there are various contractors that may be able to help you with this, but this part of the process must be done prior to us planting.

If you are interested in planting trees, contact the office to make arrangements for us to visit with you and plan your planting. (701)282-2157 ext 3 or email Jeremiah.
