Tree planting: the right tree in the right place

A tree’s success starts long before it goes in the ground. We help you choose and plant trees suited to Maine’s climate, your soil and your goals.

Proper species selection, site evaluation, planting technique and long-term planning all decide whether a tree thrives for decades or struggles from the start. Tree Medics helps homeowners, businesses and municipalities throughout Southern Maine plant trees that are well suited to our climate, soils and landscapes.

Planting rooted in long-term tree health

Planting a tree is an investment in your property. Getting it right helps avoid common problems like poor growth, root conflicts, insect susceptibility, storm damage and early decline. We recommend trees that are:

  • Suited to Maine’s climate
  • Matched to your soil conditions
  • The right mature size for the space
  • Resistant to local pests and diseases
  • Able to thrive for decades
  • Valuable for shade, privacy or wildlife
