PLANTING SERVICES

Planting services are offered primarily Monday through Friday, between 8am and 4pm. Pine Lane occasionally offers planting services on Saturdays during our peak season.

Planting fees are charged per plant, and are based on the size of the plant material. In addition to the planting charge, there is also a delivery charge based on your zip code. The delivery charge gets Pine Lane’s truck, crew, tools and your plant material to your property.  Stop by or give us a call anytime for specific pricing for your project at (303) 841-3009.

Here is what to expect if you decide to have Pine Lane Nursery plant for you:

• At the time of purchase, you will receive the Pine Lane Nursery ‘Plant for Success’ starter kit. Within this kit you will find plant care information as well as white flags and/or orange tape. The white flags should be used to mark where you would like each plant planted. The orange tape may be used to mark any removals if applicable.
  • Please find the ‘Plant For Success‘ kit at the bottom of this page- just in case.
• Behind the scenes, we will submit an 811 Utility Locate for your planting site. Please make sure the planting area is easily accessible (no locked gates or animals in the yard) in order to facilitate locates for all utility lines.
• Once we are notified by 811 that that locates are complete, we will contact you to schedule your planting.  We are happy to work with you to find the right date and time for planting.  You are welcome to be home at the time of planting however our crew is able to rely on your white flags and instructions to ensure all plant material is installed in the correct location if you are unable to be home.
• On the day of planting, the planting crew will arrive on site in one of our Pine Lane Nursery delivery trucks.  They will then unload all plant material, complete any removals previously paid for and start planting.  Planting includes digging the appropriate sized hole(s), amending the soil, and finishing the planting.  If a water source and hose are accessible, the crew will also water in any plant material.  At this point, the crew will also stake any trees if appropriate;
  • Research has shown that newly planted trees in general do not need to be staked. However, there are times when you should consider staking for protection, support, and to anchor in areas of high wind. Due to the high winds along the Front Range, Pine Lane Nursery will stake #25 container and smaller container deciduous trees as part of our planting service as these trees have a smaller root system and larger canopy that can become imbalanced in high wind and would benefit from extra support. All other plant material will not be staked unless requested by the customer and would require an additional purchase of the stakes. *Tree stakes should only be utilized for the first year of establishment and should be removed after one year.
• The crew will then clean up the site, and haul away excess soil or removed plant materials.
