Tree & Shrub Planting
Done Right

Yes. Plant selection is an important part of what we do. We consider sunlight, soil and moisture conditions, available space, mature plant size, appearance, seasonal interest, and maintenance requirements before recommending plants for your landscape.

The cost depends on the number, size, and varieties of plants being installed, site conditions, access, removal of existing landscaping, and the amount of preparation required. A few replacement shrubs will be very different from installing foundation landscaping or a larger privacy planting. Weaver’s can evaluate your property and recommend options based on your goals and budget.

Yes. We can remove overgrown, unhealthy, poorly placed, or outdated shrubs and replace them with plants better suited to the space. This is especially common around foundations where older shrubs have grown too large for windows, walkways, entrances, and other landscape features.

There isn't one shrub that's best for every home. The right choice depends on sunlight, available space, soil conditions, desired height, architectural style, and how much maintenance you want. We select foundation plants based on how they'll perform and look as they mature, not simply how they look when they're installed.

Yes. Mature plant size is one of the factors we consider when designing foundation plantings. Selecting appropriately sized shrubs from the beginning can reduce the need for constant pruning and help prevent landscaping from eventually covering windows, crowding walkways, or overwhelming the front of your home.

The best privacy plants depend on how much space is available, the amount of sunlight, soil conditions, desired screening height, and whether you want year-round or seasonal coverage. Evergreens are popular for year-round screening, but mixed plantings can also create attractive privacy while adding more variety to the landscape.

Yes. We can create new plantings around homes with little or no existing landscaping. This may include foundation shrubs, ornamental trees, privacy plantings, grasses, perennials, and new garden beds designed to make a newly constructed property feel more established and complete.

Yes. Native trees and shrubs can be incorporated into both new and existing landscapes. We can recommend native plants suited to your property's conditions and combine them with other well-suited landscape plants when appropriate. You can also learn more about our native plant landscaping services.

Yes. We can evaluate failed or declining privacy plantings and recommend suitable replacements. Before simply planting the same thing again, we'll consider why the original plants struggled, along with sunlight, drainage, spacing, mature size, and the amount of screening you're trying to achieve.

Spring and fall are both excellent planting seasons for many trees and shrubs in Northeast Ohio. Cooler temperatures can reduce stress while new plants establish their root systems. Planting can also be successful at other times depending on the species, weather, site conditions, and ability to provide appropriate watering.

Absolutely. You don't necessarily need to redesign your entire yard. New trees and shrubs can fill empty areas, improve privacy, add structure, introduce seasonal color, or replace individual plants that aren't performing well. We can also work worthwhile existing plants into an updated landscape.
