Prescribing planting specifications is an important area to get right, as is has a significant impact on successful tree establishment, tree health and tree longevity. Appropriate investment/consideration needs to be made at the design and planting stages, if a tree is to reach its full potential. Paper Street Tree Co. provides expert guidance on the following:

• Soil assessment
  The healthier the soil the healthier the tree and therefore the more resilient a tree is to environmental stresses, which leads to improved long-term cost savings.
• Planter pit design/specifications
  This is an important area for consideration. If roots have places to grow, infrastructure damage is often reduced. Once again, a healthy rooting area assists successful tree establishment, and improves tree resilience and greater long-term outcomes.
• Species and tree selection
  For successful tree establishment to take place, good tree stock is important. Collaborating with nurseries to grow plants to certain specifications, and choosing the correct species for the space, are important in terms of long-term retention.
• Planting schedules
  Provide specific planting specifications for tree-planting projects.
• Aftercare programme
  Provide aftercare measures to facilitate successfully plant establishment.
• Formative pruning plans
  Poor tree structure is one of the primary causes of limb failure. Applying structural pruning during the formative years of tree establishment is important to ensure trees establish a strong structure. Paper Street Tree Co. pruning plans are tailored to the requirements of site and the species involved.
