Tree Planting Process

A 100-year-old tree starts today

The most critical stage in an urban tree’s life is at its planting. Rainbow’s process ensures tree health by planting where roots can grow and thrive.

How Our Method Works

Tree Planting Step 1

1

Trees are grown in special conditions, mimicking the forest floor to develop strong root systems.

Tree Planting Step 2

2

The planting site is selected and prepared; then the right tree is properly planted at your location.
Tree Planting Step 3

3

Roots establish and the tree achieves above-average growth in its first years.

Roots Need to Breathe

Tree roots need oxygen to grow. When a tree is planted too deeply, less oxygen is available, leading to poor root growth.

Rainbow’s unique method places the tree roots at the correct depth for optimal growth, avoiding the common pitfalls of other planting practices, including:

  • Roots planted too deeply
  • Poor root development
  • Reduced water availability

Trees planted by Rainbow benefit from innovative techniques that mimic the natural forest environment, making it a superior approach to traditional planting. Our methods lead to:

  • Stronger, healthier root systems that are planted fully intact
  • Roots taking hold quicker thanks to optimal planting depth
  • Quicker tree establishment and above-average growth in the first year
