Garden compositions, created by landscape designers’ hands, gladden the eye of stuffy and narrow megapolis. And trees, of course, are the main element of these compositions.

Trees planting is perhaps the most difficult and important part of the landscaping works. This stage requires the work of a team united by one common idea: the designers, technologists, landscape engineers and specially trained workers will present you a part of your personal corner of the wild nature, recreated by human hands, wherever you want.
Let’s see how trees are planted.

А — light-loving wide-leaves deciduous trees with strong crown and high trunks and large coniferous trees with height from 10 to 30 meters.
B — moderate light-loving tree with medium crown and height from 8 to 15 meters.
C — shade-required small trees with medium crown and height from 3 to 6 meters.
A-type - chestnut, oak, ash, maple, pine and spruce; B-type - willow and rowan; C-type - dwarf varieties of trees and low fruit trees. C-type - dwarf varieties of trees and low fruit trees.
It is the best to plant trees in the spring when vegetative period began, or in autumn-winter season, when physiological processes are slowed down and the tree is in anabiosis. This helps to tree to overcome planting without a shock. (the temperature should above -15oC).
Requirements of trees planting roughly similar for almost all sorts of trees, but there are some features associated with size, age and sort of tree.
Firstly, you should remain a soil bulk around the root system of tree. This is to keep the root system of planting tree from damaging. The dimensions of soil bulk sometimes differ.
For example, the following parameters are optimal:
The diameter of a trunk (measured at a height of 1-3 m), cm |

Planting hole prepares for a hard and time-taking process.
Future holes are marked up in accordance with a plan.
Please follow a few rules to make tree placement comfortable:
Acclimatization of trees depends on how responsible you are in a tree planting.
Please remember that you need to water and maintain them regularly after planting.
