Build Thriving Landscapes with Native Trees

Schedule Planting & Fertilization in Vail

Your landscape can thrive with less water and maintenance when you plant species that are naturally adapted to Vail's climate. CABO & BROS TREE SERVICE installs native and near-native trees that support water conservation, cleaner air, and stronger ecosystems. Each planting is paired with soil preparation and basin building to maximize natural irrigation and reduce long-term upkeep in Vail's arid environment.

Native trees have evolved over thousands of years to survive droughts and floods, making them far more resilient than non-native species. Basins are designed to collect rainwater naturally and direct it to root zones, reducing the need for supplemental irrigation. Minimal fertilizers and soil amendments encourage natural soil health and root strength without introducing unnecessary chemicals.

Create a water-wise, low-maintenance landscape with professional planting services tailored to Vail's unique conditions.

Key Benefits of This Service

Every planting project begins with a site evaluation that considers soil type, sun exposure, and drainage patterns. You'll receive recommendations for native species that fit your space and goals, whether you're looking for shade, privacy, or wildlife habitat. The team prepares the soil to ensure strong root development and long-term tree health.

CABO & BROS TREE SERVICE emphasizes native planting because it supports balanced desert habitats and reduces the environmental impact of landscaping. Native grass, flowers, and shade trees create ecosystems that attract beneficial insects, birds, and pollinators. These species require less water, tolerate extreme temperatures, and maintain themselves with minimal intervention.

Basin installation is a key part of the process, capturing rainfall and directing it where it's needed most. Eco-friendly fertilization is used sparingly to support establishment without overwhelming natural soil processes. The result is a landscape that looks great, uses less water, and contributes to the health of the local environment.

What are the benefits of planting native trees?
Native trees require less water, tolerate heat and drought, and support local wildlife. They're naturally adapted to Vail's soil and climate, making them easier to maintain and more resilient long-term.

How do planting basins work?
Basins are shallow depressions built around the tree's root zone to capture and hold rainwater. They allow water to soak into the soil slowly, reducing runoff and maximizing natural irrigation during dry periods.

Do native trees need fertilizer?
Most native trees thrive without heavy fertilization. Minimal, eco-friendly amendments are used during planting to support root establishment, but ongoing fertilization is rarely necessary once the tree is established.

How long does it take for a new tree to establish?
Most native trees establish within one to two years, depending on species and soil conditions. During this time, consistent watering and monitoring help roots develop and adapt to their new environment.

Can I plant native grass and flowers around the tree?
Yes, native ground covers and flowers are encouraged because they reduce erosion, conserve moisture, and attract pollinators. They also complement native trees and create a more balanced, water-smart landscape.

Native planting is one of the smartest investments you can make for your property and the environment. It reduces water use, supports wildlife, and creates a landscape that maintains itself naturally. Create a thriving, water-wise landscape with native planting from CABO & BROS TREE SERVICE.
