The crew was very friendly and walked the property with me before planting so we could discuss where the trees would be planted. They were very thorough and left the property clean afterwards. Definitely recommend their installation service.
It helps us recommend plants that are best for your local climate, based on your growing zone. Also, because we ship plants based on when they are best for your local climate, it allows us to give you a more accurate estimate of when your order will ship.

These were exactly what we were hoping for. The foliage has a really nice golden tint that brightens up our yard compared to the typical dark green arborvitae. Plants arrived healthy and planted easily. Very happy with the purchase.
