Nampa Tree Nursery a Short Drive from Amity Dog Park

If you walk your dog at Amity Dog Park, you know the value of shade. The park sits off 2nd St S in Nampa, near the Kings Road overpass. On a hot afternoon, its tall trees keep the loop cool for you and your dog.

Our tree nursery near Amity Dog Park grows that same kind of shade for your yard. We are a short drive south, toward Lake Lowell. You can shop our trees and arrange delivery for the larger ones.

Because we grow here, our trees are matched to Nampa's soil and seasons. The same shade you enjoy at the park can cool your yard, where your dog plays. Reach out to plan a quick visit.

Shade Trees Make Hot Park Days Easier at Home

If you visit the park off E Amity Ave, you know how much its shade helps. Dozens of mature trees cool the half-mile walking loop on hot days. The same shade can keep your backyard play area cooler all summer.
A wide canopy lowers ground heat, so your dog has a cool spot to rest.

We grow strong shade trees like Sunburst Locust, Patmore Ash, and Littleleaf Linden.
We help you match tree size to your space, from fast-growing shade to a slow, steady tree.

Mature Shade Trees Are Worth the Short Drive South

If you want real shade fast, skip the thin sapling. Many of our trees are mature, field-grown, and 5 to 10 years old. We dig them balled and burlapped, with the root ball wrapped for the move.

A short drive south toward Lake Lowell gets you bigger stock. You walk the rows and pick the actual tree before you buy. We deliver the larger ones straight to your yard.

Trees That Hold Up in Yards Where Dogs Run

Busy yards take a beating, with worn paths and packed soil from daily play. Strong-rooted trees stand up to running, digging, and rough use. We grow sturdy trunks and varieties suited to local yards.

A mature tree with a solid root ball settles in faster than a young one. Whether your lot is small or large, we help you pick the right fit.

Getting to Our Nampa Nursery from Amity Dog Park

From the park, the drive is about 17 minutes and 10 miles. Here is the simple route:

- Leave the parking lot and turn right onto 2nd St S.

- Turn left onto Southside Blvd and follow it south.

- Turn right onto E Locust Ln, then left onto ID-45 S.

- Turn right onto Emerald Rd, which becomes Lake Shore Dr.

- Follow Lake Shore Dr along the south side of Lake Lowell.

You pass Wilson Springs Ponds early and Lake Side Barn near the end. Our farm is on the left. There is room to park, and we deliver the larger trees to you.

Trees That Fit Nampa's Clay Soil and Seasons

Yards near Lake Shore Dr and across south Nampa share the same ground. Our soil is heavy, alkaline clay that holds water and drains slowly. We grow trees that root well in that clay and high pH.

Nampa sits in USDA zone 7a, with four seasons. Summers regularly hit the low 90s, and winters turn cold. The area gets around 11 inches of rain a year and roughly 210 sunny days. For year-round green, we also grow evergreens like Colorado Blue Spruce and Serbian Spruce. Plant in spring or in the fall window, mid-September through October.

Plan Your Visit Around Park Days and Pickup

Many owners pair a park trip with tree shopping the same day. Walk your dog at the park, then drive over to browse our rows. Bring photos of your yard and rough measurements.

Our team helps you match a tree to your space, soil, and sunlight. We can also talk through delivery and the best time to plant. Plan ahead, since the best selection shifts with the season.

We grow for south Nampa and the wider Treasure Valley.
