If you live near Endless Archery in Nampa, your next shade tree is closer than you think. The shop sits up on the Franklin Boulevard corridor, northeast of town. We grow field trees across town, on the southwest side. You can pick one and haul it home the same day.
This page is for homeowners and landscapers near East Franklin Road and the Idaho Center. We'll help you choose a tree and get it back to your yard. We're the tree farm Endless Archery neighbors drive across town to reach.
Many homes on this side of town are newer. The ground is often packed builder's fill under a thin layer of topsoil. The right tree handles that soil; the wrong one struggles. We point you to trees that do well here.
The drive to us is one straight run across town. Our loading area is open, so a truck and trailer fit with no tight turns. Call ahead before you come. We'll check current stock and spring hours so your trip pays off.
If you bought a newer lot near the Franklin Boulevard corridor, your yard sets the choice. We start with your space, your sun, and your soil. Then we hand you a short list, not a full catalog. You pick the one you like best.
A short list keeps the choice simple. We pull three trees that fit your spot. Each one suits the room you have and the light it gets. You walk the rows and see them in person before you decide.
Yards near Ridgecrest Golf Club are often smaller and fenced. A tree that grows too wide will crowd the fence and the patio. We steer you toward sizes that fit a tighter yard.
The goal is a tree that fits the space as it grows.

Many homes off East Franklin Road went up fast. The topsoil on top can look fine and ready to plant. But a few inches down, the ground is often packed fill. That hidden layer is what trips up a new tree.
Packed ground changes how a tree lives. Roots cannot spread the way they need to. Water sits instead of draining, or runs off too fast. Both leave a young tree stressed in its first year.
Recent grading is the main cause near these subdivisions. Crews compact the soil to set the lot, and dense fill stays just below the surface. The wrong tree fights that ground and falls behind.
The right tree, planted in a well-prepped hole, takes hold and grows.

Plant a tree at the right time and it settles in faster. Spring and early fall are the best windows here. The weather is cool and the soil is still warm. Your tree puts down roots before the hard heat arrives.
Roots need weeks to grow into new ground. A tree planted in cool weather gets that head start. By July, Nampa highs regularly hit the low 90s. A settled tree handles that heat far better than a fresh one.
Nampa is dry, with only about 11 inches of rain a year. That means watering is on you, not the sky. Water every day for the first few weeks after planting. Order early in the season, too, before the best stock thins out.
Cannot haul a big tree yourself? We move and replant mature, large specimen trees for you. We dig, deliver, and set the tree in your yard. You skip the truck, the trailer, and the heavy lifting.
This works well for landscapers and busy homeowners on this side of town. We deliver to yards off East Franklin Road and homes near the Idaho Center. That's part of the areas we serve across the Treasure Valley. A large tree gives your lot shade and size right away.
Corner lots on the northeast side catch strong valley wind. The right tree and a solid planting hold up to it. Call us with your address and the tree you want. We'll tell you whether delivery fits your job.

Trees are serious, and so are your questions. Here are just a few:
Is the farm far from the Endless Archery area?
It's one cross-town drive, about 28 minutes and near 15.5 miles. You head from the Franklin Boulevard side down to Lake Shore Drive on the southwest side. The route is mostly straight, with no hard turns.
Can I fit a truck and trailer at the farm?
Yes, our loading area is open with no tight turns. Pull in, and we load your tree right where it's dug. Trucks and trailers both fit with room to spare.
Do Idaho Center event days slow down Garrity Boulevard?
Yes, big events at the Idaho Center can slow Garrity Boulevard. On those days, come earlier or leave extra time. Most other days the drive stays clear.
Do I need to call before digging at home?
Yes, call Digline at 811 before any digging. The service is free and marks buried utility lines so you dig safely. Make the call at least two business days before you plant.
My subdivision is new. Is the soil a problem?
Often yes, since newer lots tend to have packed builder's fill below the topsoil. That dense layer can slow root growth and drainage. We help you prep the hole so your tree takes hold.
Can I plant in summer if I buy now?
Yes, with daily watering for the first few weeks. Summer planting works, but cool-season planting in spring or early fall is safer. Cooler weather lets the roots settle before the heat.
