3 things to confirm before street trees go in along a new lot — none of them are just “the hole is dug.”
Before street trees and mulch beds go in along a commercial lot like this oneFSC–UCIC Lot 3 in Winston-Salem, confirm:
1. Curb and road work is complete and the planting areas are accessible.
2. The planting strip is properly graded and ready for installation.
3. A watering plan is in place from day one.
On this project, there’s no irrigation system, so we’re using tree watering bags and filling them on a regular schedule to make sure the newly planted trees receive the water they need.
Working alongside Landmark Builders, this kind of planning helps give new trees the best start while keeping the landscaping phase moving smoothly.
Save this for your next streetscape or commercial planting project — especially when permanent irrigation isn’t part of the scope.
