Every great landscape begins with a tree. Whether you want to add shade to your backyard, line a driveway with oaks, or create a windbreak on open land, tree planting is one of the most rewarding investments you can make. At Arborists of East Texas, we specialize in planting trees that thrive in our climate and soil, helping property owners across Athens, Tyler, Palestine, and all of East Texas create lasting beauty and value.

Planting a tree may seem simple — dig a hole, drop it in, and water it. But planting the right way, with the right tree, in the right place, makes all the difference between a tree that struggles and a tree that flourishes for generations. That’s where we come in.

Why Tree Planting Matters in East Texas

Trees are more than just landscape features. They are investments that improve your property and your community. Here’s why tree planting is so valuable:

Shade & Comfort – In East Texas summers, shade trees dramatically reduce temperatures around homes and outdoor areas.
Property Value – Mature, well-placed trees can increase property value by 15–20%.
Environmental Benefits – Trees filter pollutants, produce oxygen, and provide habitats for wildlife.
Energy Savings – Strategic planting lowers cooling costs by blocking harsh sunlight in summer.
Erosion Control – Roots stabilize soil, reducing runoff and protecting land during storms.
Beauty & Character – From flowering ornamentals to towering hardwoods, trees define the character of your property.

When you plant trees with Arborists of East Texas, you’re not just making your yard look better today — you’re building a legacy for the future.

Choosing the Right Tree

One of the biggest mistakes people make is planting the wrong tree in the wrong spot. Some trees outgrow their space, while others struggle in poor soil or fall victim to pests. Our job as arborists is to match your goals with the right species and placement.

In East Texas, we work with a variety of native and ornamental trees, including:

Live Oak – Iconic shade tree, strong and long-lived.
Pecan – The state tree of Texas, offering shade and nuts.
Red Maple – Beautiful fall color and adaptable growth.
Crepe Myrtle – Low-maintenance ornamental with colorful blooms.
Pine – Fast-growing and ideal for windbreaks or wooded settings.

We evaluate soil, drainage, sunlight, and surrounding structures before planting, ensuring your new trees grow strong and healthy.
