Service Scope
Tree planting and installation
Placing trees at a size and quantity that need equipment to handle.
Planting a sapling is a shovel job. Installing mature or semi-mature trees is an earthmoving job: the root balls are heavy, the pits are machine-dug, and getting the stock to its position is usually the hardest part of the day.
SDC has a record combining tree installation with property grading, which is a common pairing — the planting scheme and the finished ground level are decided together rather than one after the other.
