Staking Supplies
Staking a newly planted tree is a critical part of our planting procedure. Unless the tree is planted in the most sheltered of areas, we highly recommend any newly tree is protected from extreme winds that surely will blow it over before its roots have spread and taken hold.
Properly staking a tree supports the tree against extreme wind loads but still allows the trees trunk to sway in the wind. We accomplish this by using flexible metal posts, fiberglass stakes, rubber ties and arborist rope. These are profession grade supplies that help to obtain professional results.
Please contact us to discuss you specific needs, we will recommend our best solutions for your exact staking needs.
