Proper Species Selection

We help you choose trees suited to Fullerton's climate, your soil type, available space, and desired characteristics like shade, color, or fruit production.

We assess and amend soil as needed, ensuring proper drainage and nutrient availability for healthy root development in Orange County soils.

Strategic Placement

We consider mature tree size, overhead utilities, underground pipes, foundations, and sight lines to place trees where they'll thrive without causing future problems.

Optimal Timing

We plant at the best time of year for each species to maximize establishment success and minimize transplant shock in Southern California's climate.

Post-Planting Support

Tree Planting & Transplanting Frequently Asked Questions

How much does tree planting cost in Fullerton?

Tree planting costs in Fullerton vary based on tree size and species. Small trees (5-gallon) cost $200-400 including installation. 15-gallon trees run $300-600. 24-inch box trees cost $500-1,200. Large specimen trees (36"+ box) range from $1,500-$5,000+. Costs include tree, delivery, planting, staking, and mulching.

When is the best time to plant trees in Fullerton?

In Fullerton, fall through early spring (October-March) is ideal for planting most trees. Cooler weather and winter rains help trees establish before summer heat. Container-grown trees can be planted year-round with proper watering, but fall planting gives trees the best start in Southern California.

Can you transplant large trees?

Yes, we can successfully transplant trees up to about 10-12 inches trunk diameter depending on species. Success depends on tree health, root system, distance moved, and post-transplant care. We use specialized equipment to preserve the root ball and minimize shock. Not all trees are good candidates for transplanting.

What trees are drought-tolerant for Fullerton?

Excellent drought-tolerant trees for Fullerton include California native oaks, Chinese pistache, jacaranda, crape myrtle, palo verde, California pepper, olive trees, and many palm species. These trees thrive with minimal water once established, perfect for water-wise Southern California landscapes.

How do I care for a newly planted tree?

Water deeply 2-3 times weekly for the first month, then gradually reduce frequency. Keep mulch 3-4 inches deep but away from trunk. Don't fertilize for the first year. Prune only dead or damaged branches. Check stakes monthly and remove after 6-12 months. We provide detailed care instructions with every planting.

Do you help with tree selection?

Absolutely! We provide free consultations to help you select the perfect trees for your Fullerton property. We consider your goals (shade, privacy, fruit, color), site conditions, mature size, maintenance needs, and personal preferences to recommend ideal species for your landscape and Orange County climate.
