New Trees Suited for North Houston
A new tree gives shade and changes the front of the house. Planting one in Houston clay takes more than a hole. Axe Lawn Services provides tree planting in Houston so the tree is set for a long life, not a first season.
Firefighter-owned crews select, deliver, and install trees that fit North Houston heat, clay, and the occasional freeze.
Setting Roots Up for Success
A tree fails when it is planted too deep, or when the clay around the root ball is left sealed. Roots suffocate in that hole.
- Proper Species Selection: Trees that can take summer heat and a winter freeze. Live oak, Shumard oak, crape myrtle, and native pines are the usual fits. The lot still decides.
- Correct Planting Depth: The root flare sits at grade so the trunk can breathe.
- Soil Amendment: Compacted clay is opened and mixed so roots can leave the ball.
- Staking and Mulching: The new tree is staked against Gulf wind, with a mulch ring that stays off the trunk.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Planting
What types of trees grow best in Houston?
Live oak, Shumard oak, crape myrtle, and native pines handle the heat and the clay better than trees chosen only for a spring flower. The sun and the drainage on that lot still decide.
Do you plant large, mature trees?
Yes. Planting covers young trees in containers and larger balled-and-burlapped trees when the site can take the weight and the access.
