Mature Trees Create Instant Shade for Treasure Valley Yards

New homes in North Nampa and South Meridian often come with bare yards. Subdivisions near Meridian Speedway, Franklin Village, and Apple Blossom lack mature canopy. Young saplings take 15 to 20 years to grow tall enough for real shade.

A transplanted tree changes that. You get shade, privacy, and curb appeal the same week your tree arrives. Kids can play outside without the hot sun. You can sit on your patio and enjoy a cool spot in the yard.

Mature trees also raise property values. Canyon County's housing market keeps growing. Buyers notice yards with big, healthy trees. Your home stands out on the block when it has green cover that neighbors lack.

Our orchard grows trees for 5 to 10 years before they move to your property. You skip the long wait and start with a tree that already has size and strength.

Tree Species That Thrive in Nampa
and Meridian Soil

Treasure Valley soil is heavy clay with a pH often above 7. Not every tree does well here. The wrong species struggles, drops leaves early, or dies within a few years.

We grow trees that handle these conditions. Maples, oaks, honey locusts, and Colorado spruce all do well in Zone 6a. These species tolerate alkaline ground and adapt to clay that holds water in spring but dries hard in summer.

Rain is limited in this area. The Treasure Valley averages only 11 inches per year. Drought-tolerant trees make sense for Nampa and Meridian yards. You save water and still get the shade you want.

The sunny climate works in your favor. Over 200 sunny days each year give deciduous and evergreen trees plenty of light. Sun-loving species grow strong and full when they get the right start in local soil.

We match each tree to your yard's conditions. Tell us about your sun exposure, drainage, and space. We help you pick a species that will thrive for decades.

Preparing Your Property Near Storey Bark Park for a Large Tree

A few steps before delivery day make the process smooth. Your yard needs to be ready when the truck arrives with your tree.

Start by calling Digline at 1-800-342-1585. Idaho state law requires this call before any digging. Utility crews mark gas, electric, and water lines for free. This keeps everyone safe and avoids costly repairs.

Check your HOA rules if you live in a master-planned community. Neighborhoods like Castle Peak or Brookdale Estates may need approval before you plant. We can provide tree specs and placement plans for your HOA board if needed.

Pick your planting spot ahead of time. Think about how big the tree will grow. Keep branches away from roof lines, fences, and power lines. Leave room for roots spread below ground too.

Clear the area of patio furniture, toys, and garden décor. Our trucks need a path to reach the planting site. We use drive mats to protect your lawn and driveway during delivery.

How We Deliver and Plant Trees
near Falcon Crest

How Transplanting Works from Dig to Final Placement

The transplant process moves a full-grown tree from our orchard to your yard. Here is how it works from start to finish.

We use Big John spade trucks to dig each tree. These machines cut a root ball up to 8 feet wide. The roots, soil, and tree stay together as one unit. This protects the tree and gives it the best chance to settle into your yard.

The truck drives your tree to your property. Our crew guides it into the hole we prepared. The root ball drops into place. We backfill with soil, pack it firm, and water it deep.

Dormant season is the best time for transplants in Idaho. October through April gives trees time to settle before summer heat. Our crews work all winter unless the ground is frozen solid.

We have moved trees near Lake Lowell, Deer Flat Refuge, and downtown Nampa parks. Each job teaches us more about local soil and conditions. Your tree gets the benefit of that hands-on experience.

Caring for a Newly Transplanted Tree Through Idaho Seasons

Your tree needs extra care in its first year. The roots are adjusting to new soil. A little attention now prevents transplant shock and helps your tree settle in strong.

Water is the most important thing you can give. Use a slow-soak method once per week. Let a hose drip at the base for 30 to 45 minutes. Check soil moisture 4 to 6 inches deep before each watering. If it feels dry, soak it again.

Strong afternoon winds are common at this elevation around 2,450 feet. These gusts dry out new trees fast. Watch for wilting leaves during windy stretches. An extra soak helps your tree recover.

Mulch the base 3 to 5 inches deep. Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk. This layer holds moisture, cools the roots, and blocks weeds. Wood chips or shredded bark both work well.

Skip fertilizer in year one. Your tree needs to grow roots first, not leaves. Let it focus energy underground. You can feed it next spring once it shows steady new growth.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service offers additional guidance on transplanting trees successfully.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Can I transplant a tree if I live in a Meridian HOA community?

Yes, most HOAs allow trees on your property. Check your covenants before you order. Some communities require approval for tree size or placement. We can provide tree specs and documentation for your HOA board if needed.

What size truck do you need to deliver a large tree near Storey Park?

We use 10-wheeler trucks for large tree deliveries. Our crew brings drive mats to protect your lawn and driveway. The mats spread the weight and prevent ruts or damage to your landscaping.

Is fall or spring better for transplanting in the Treasure Valley?

Both seasons work well for tree transplants here. The dormant season from October through April is ideal. Trees settle into the soil before summer heat arrives. We avoid planting when the ground is frozen or too muddy.

Do I need a permit to plant a tree in Nampa's right-of-way?

Yes, you need a permit from the City of Nampa Forestry Division. The permit is free. The city has an approved species list for right-of-way planting. Contact them before you plant near sidewalks or streets.

How often should I water a newly transplanted tree in Idaho's dry summers?

Use the slow-soak method once per week. Let a hose drip at the base for 30 to 45 minutes. Check soil moisture 4 to 6 inches deep before each watering. Add an extra soak during hot or windy stretches.

Can you move a tree from my yard to a new spot on my property?

Yes, we offer tree relocation services. This is common when homeowners add a pool, patio, or room addition. We dig, move, and replant your tree in a new spot on the same property.
