LANDSCAPING DESIGN & INSTALLATION

We believe landscaping involves much more than placing trees, shrubs and other plants on the property. It is an art that deals with the conscious arrangement or organization of outdoor space for your satisfaction and pleasure. Designed properly, the homeowner will enjoy the landscaped area, while increasing the curb appeal value of his or her property. Proper landscaping can also help reduce energy costs by providing shelter from the wind and sun. Trees and shrubs in the wrong place can become an expensive problem in years to come. An experienced arborist can select the proper plantings for the desired location. Our experience in managing residential and commercial landscape projects will help to make this process easy for you. We work closely with each customer to determine taste, needs, and budgets to create the perfect individual landscape.

We pride ourselves on using the latest tools, technology, techniques, and safety principles of installation, to ensure the job is done correctly and efficiently.

Knowing a tree’s mature size is very important in selecting a location. Trees should be placed so that they may develop freely without crowding each other, buildings, utility lines or other structures. Our careful and thoughtful planning, will decrease future maintenance problems, therefore saving the homeowner expensive corrective procedures later on. Conditions we consider when selecting a location:

• Is irrigation available?
• What is the light exposure, sun or shade?
• What is the soil composition?
• What is the soil drainage?
• What size will the planting grow when mature?
• What is the distance from the site to buildings?
• Are there any overhead power lines?
• Are there any below ground considerations, water, cable?

Our expert technicians will install your new trees and shrubs while taking great care for your existing surroundings. Our teams pride themselves on neat and clean installations.

TREE & SHRUB PLANTING & TRANSPLANTING

Our arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care. In order to offer the widest selection of new trees and shrubs, your new tree may be chosen from a local nursery or several other exclusive nurseries. We can also match and replace a damaged or dead tree assuring the aesthetic balance of trees for your landscaping.

Most trees and shrubs are planted in areas where they will enhance the look of a home or surroundings. Occasionally there is a need to relocate these more valuable plantings to other areas of your property. Some reasons for relocation are:

• Home additions or landscaping improvements.
• Plantings outgrowing their current space.
• Eliminate further damage to existing structures, walkways or driveways.
• Create shade for house, decks, pools, or play areas.
• Reduce soil erosion.
• Create a noise barrier.
• Provide privacy between properties.

We transplant trees of all ages and sizes with care and professionalism to your existing landscape. Our arborist will suggest the best possible location for your transplanted tree or shrub.

Mature trees are an asset to any great landscape, both for aesthetic and sentimental reasons. Established trees provide instant privacy, noise barriers, energy-saving contributions and improve environmental conditions. Large trees can also be moved in order to provide instant shade for houses, decks, patios, etc. Often a tree has sentimental value and needs to be transplanted in a more favorable area due to construction or demolition. Whatever the reason may be, an experienced arborist is available to provide experienced and prompt tree transplanting services for large, medium and smaller trees. We use the latest technology and equipment available to safely and efficiently move your trees with the care as if we owned the property ourselves.

IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

Using an automatic sprinkler system is a convenient, efficient, and rewarding way to water your landscape. If you are still watering your landscape with a hose or a sprinkler, you may be using up to 50% more water than your landscape needs. A well-trained irrigation professional, working with today’s technology can save homeowners time and money, and provide better results. We can evaluate your current system so your lawn and landscape will receive the right amount of water, in the right spots and at the right time. When programmed properly, automatic systems can even help in water conservation. Our recommendations are customized according to the landscape plan and conditions of your site.

Most homeowners overwater their yard, unwittingly wasting money every time they take out the hose or turn on the sprinklers. Adopting water-savvy habits not only helps reduce this waste, it saves money while promoting a healthier lawn and landscape. Our professionally trained arborist will evaluate:

• each individual zone in your irrigation system to account for sun, shade and wind exposure.
• consider the soil type in each zone, as it affects the how quickly water can be applied and infiltrate without runoff.
• adjust your watering schedules at least seasonally to account for changing water needs and improve plant health.

PERMITS OBTAINED

Many communities have realized that in order to protect and enhance their valuable tree resources, it is useful to view and manage their trees as a cohesive unit, the community or urban forest.

Our local communities have established tree ordinances, which protect certain trees from being removed from residential and commercial properties. An arborist at the Rayal Tree Care Company is familiar with the current guidelines and can give expert advice on your landscaping situation. Our customer services department will file all the necessary paperwork and fees for starting the process promptly. Our tree experts will properly mark your trees prior to the required town inspection. Once approved, we follow through with your tree removal with the courtesy and professionalism you would expect.

APPRAISALS & INVENTORY REPORTING

Trees and shrubs have many values, both for their beauty and for the value added to the overall landscape. Current data supports that the value of trees and shrubs can increase the total land value by 8 to 25 percent. The problem with the cost of restoration / replacement / repair is that this approach can be practically impossible in some cases. In the case of replacing a 50-year-old hardwood tree, it is difficult to estimate this value. Placing a dollar amount on the aesthetic value is often very subjective. Due to practical reasons, a competent professional appraisal is frequently used in establishing the value of landscape trees and shrubs for a variety of reasons such as:

• Longevity
• Potential risk / hazards
• Monetary value
• Insurance property claims
• Environmental changes
• Damage by construction equipment
• Real estate purchases
• Nursery stock inventory for purchasing businesses

At the Rayal Tree Care Company, our professionals are experienced in existing guidelines for this evaluation. These guidelines have been widely adopted in the field and are recognized by insurance companies, the courts, and in some cases, the IRS.
