Plant the Greenery

What happens here

Remove plants from their nursery pots. For larger trees, carefully remove any burlap or ties around the root ball. Place each plant into its corresponding hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding ground. Backfill with the excavated soil, gently tamping down to remove air pockets. Water each plant thoroughly to settle the soil. For the smaller plants, drench the hole with water, carefully remove the plant from its pot, place it in the muddy hole, and backfill any remaining dirt. This method helps prevent transplant shock. Follow watering guidelines (e.g., every other day for two weeks) until plants are established. Finally, use a skid steer to spread the decorative gravel evenly over the installed weed barrier, being careful around the newly planted areas. Manually rake the gravel to achieve uniform coverage and a neat finish, ensuring the landscape edging remains visible and functional.

Goal: Carefully plant each shrub, bush, and tree in its designated hole, ensuring proper hydration and backfilling, then spread decorative rock.
