Three Shires offer mechanised and manual planting options. We can cater for any requirement from small landscape scheme creation to large scale production reforestation.
Our mechanical planting systems enable us to reduce the time-frame required when compared with manual planting operations. In late season planting, this can make the difference between job completion prior to the transplants awakening from dormancy.
Where larger scale and semi mature transplants are required we will usually incorporate auger preparation of planting site, we have plant to enable efficient distribution of transplants, compost and protection materials onto any site
Before Planting
Three Shires work with developers to choose the correct size, shape and species of tree to be planted in the space selected. If a certain species of tree is too large for its allotted area, then there can be issues with constant maintenance.
Selection of tree species for landscape and habitat continuity
In some locations, it may be necessary to choose species that are in keeping with the existing treescape, for example, London plane (Platanus x hispanica) in central London. In others, it may be suitable to choose native species that provide a habitat or habitat connectivity for animal species that use trees for food or nesting. Our experience in the selection of trees means that we can make recommendations to meet all of your requirements.
Functional trees
Trees may be needed to fulfil an environmental function, such as providing shade, damping noise or reducing particulate pollution. Not all trees are equally efficient in carrying out these functions. Our in-house arboriculture team will recommend the species that will provide the maximum benefit, and advise on the right densities and planting patterns.
Types of tree stock
There are many choices to be made when buying trees. Nursery trees can be bare rooted, root-balled or container grown; seedlings, small trees (whips) or semi-mature specimens to confer an instant mature landscape. We advise on which options are best for your design and the planting site.
Tree planting scheme design
Sourcing healthy stock is vital to select healthy specimens that will survive in the often hostile conditions in which they are planted, and that will grow without defects. We advise on where to obtain the best stock, preferably of local provenance so that it is well suited to local growing conditions. We also carefully check purchased plants to ensure that they are healthy, free of disease and of good form.
