Tree planting questions, answered.
Quick answers to the questions Long Island homeowners ask us most often.
How much does tree planting cost on Long Island?+
Cost depends on tree size, species, and site access. Most residential projects fall between $300 and $1,200 per installed tree including delivery, planting, mulch, and staking. We provide free written estimates so you know exactly what you're getting before any work begins.
What are the best privacy trees for Long Island?+
Green Giant Arborvitae, Emerald Green Arborvitae, Leyland Cypress, and Norway Spruce are the top performers. Green Giants grow fastest, Emerald Greens stay narrow and tidy, and spruce add bulk and winter color.
When is the best time to plant trees?+
Spring (March–early June) and fall (September–November) are ideal on Long Island. Cooler temperatures and consistent moisture help roots establish before summer heat or winter freeze. That said, with proper care we plant successfully through most of the year.
How far apart should privacy trees be planted?+
It depends on the species. Emerald Green Arborvitae go in roughly 3 feet apart, Green Giants 5–8 feet apart, Leyland Cypress 6–10 feet apart. We'll lay out the spacing on site so you get a solid screen without crowding the roots.
Do you provide the trees?+
Yes. We source quality nursery stock from trusted Long Island and regional growers and deliver, install, mulch, and stake each tree. You get one quote and one crew handling the entire project.
Do you offer commercial tree planting?+
Absolutely. We work with HOAs, property managers, office parks, shopping centers, and municipalities throughout Nassau and Suffolk County on volume plantings and scheduled installations.
