Caldwell Property Owners Find Cold-Hardy and Heat-Tolerant Trees Here

Homeowners replacing dying ash trees, new-build landscapers, and hobby farmers adding windbreaks all visit our tree nursery. Our stock includes maples (Autumn Blaze, Crimson King, Red Maple), lindens, ash varieties (Summit, Green, Patmore), elms (Princeton, Prairie Expedition), and evergreens including Colorado Blue Spruce, Norway Spruce, and Austrian Pine. You need trees that handle sub-zero winters and summers reaching 100°F. Many Caldwell properties near Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge need trees that don't compete with irrigation schedules. Walk our rows to compare branch structure, bark, and canopy shape before you buy. You see exactly what you're getting.

Choosing Trees That Handle Caldwell's Clay Soil and Alkaline pH

Gardeners frustrated by poor drainage in Caldwell subdivisions and acreage owners improving pasture edges face the same soil challenge. Our staff suggests species that tolerate heavy clay without amendment. Honeylocust (including Sunburst Locust), hackberry, hawthorn, ash varieties, and Austrian Pine all perform well in alkaline conditions.

Canyon County soils typically show pH between 7.5 and 8.2 across the area. We guide you on planting depth and whether to break up clay or plant proud. The right species and technique prevent root problems later.

Getting to Our Nursery from Downtown Caldwell or Lake Lowell

First-time visitors from Caldwell's east side and contractors picking up multiple trees find us easily. From downtown Caldwell, take State Highway 19 West and Farmway Road toward West Linden Street. Turn left onto State Highway 19 West, then left onto Farmway Road. Turn right onto West Linden Street, then left onto Wagner Road. Turn left onto Hoadley Road, then right toward Riverside Road/Sunny Slope Road. Turn left onto Lake Shore Drive and you'll find us at 12747 Lake Shore Drive.

Drive time runs 10 to 15 minutes depending on your starting point. Our gravel lot accommodates trucks and trailers. Avoid Friday afternoons during Caldwell rodeo weeks in late August when traffic backs up near the fairgrounds.

Our staff loads trees with a forklift. Bring tie-downs for open truck beds. View our full location details and service areas.

We Help Caldwell Customers Plan for Mature Tree Size and Spacing

Homeowners in newer Caldwell subdivisions with narrow side yards and farmers planting privacy screens along property lines need to plan for growth. Choosing the right tree for your space avoids utility-line conflicts, foundation damage, and neighbor disputes.

Caldwell's residential lots often run 6,000 to 8,000 square feet. Mature shade trees need 25 to 30 feet of clearance. We discuss sun exposure, wind patterns from the southwest, and whether HOA rules limit height. You avoid costly mistakes by planning now.

Planting Season Timing for Caldwell's
Zone 7a Climate

DIY planters wanting best survival rates and landscapers scheduling jobs around Caldwell's frost dates both benefit from proper timing. Spring (late March through May) and fall (September through October) offer cooler temperatures and natural moisture before establishment.

Caldwell falls within USDA hardiness Zone 7a, where the average last frost falls late April and first frost arrives mid-October. Plan your planting around these dates. We stock bare-root trees in early spring and sell container trees through fall.

Caldwell Customers Ask About Watering After Canyon County's Dry Summers

New tree owners worried about July and August heat and rural customers on well systems rationing water both ask about irrigation. Establish deep watering routines to build drought resilience. Weekly soaks work better than daily sprinkles.

Caldwell receives roughly 11 inches of annual precipitation. Supplemental irrigation is critical for the first two years. We recommend mulch application, drip-line placement, and teach you signs of underwatering versus overwatering. Your trees survive Canyon County summers when you water correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Trees are serious, and so are your questions. Here are just a few:

Can I pick up trees on weekends if I drive from Caldwell?

We are closed on weekends. Our nursery is open Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Monday from 9 AM to 5 PM. Plan your visit during weekday hours.

Do you deliver to Caldwell addresses or only offer pickup?

We offer delivery to Caldwell addresses. Contact us to discuss your order size and delivery details. We can arrange transport for larger orders.

What trees survive best near Lake Lowell's higher water table?

Willows (including Laurel Willow and Prairie Cascade Willow), River Birch, and certain maples tolerate wetter soils near Lake Lowell. Avoid pines and most evergreens in those pockets. They struggle in areas with higher water tables.

Should I wait until after Caldwell's frost date to plant in spring?

Bare-root trees go in while dormant before bud break. Container stock is safer after late April.

Do you help Caldwell customers get tree permits for right-of-way planting?

We provide general information on Caldwell city code for parkway trees. You contact city planning directly for permits. They handle approval for right-of-way plantings.
