We don’t offer a planting service. However for specialist projects we recommend working with a landscaper who understands plant species, site conditions and the level of detail your project may need. We can point you toward trusted consultants in your region.

We’re always happy to help with tree selection.

The best time to plant is during the cooler months, from Autumn through to Spring. Trees establish more easily in these seasons as soil stays moist and temperatures are steady.

Planting is still possible through Summer if irrigation is in place and the site can be kept consistently watered. With the right care, year‑round planting can work well.

We deliver throughout New Zealand. Our team arranges delivery for you, whether it’s a single tree or a full project load. We work with trusted transport partners to make sure your trees arrive safely and in great condition.
