Every tree planting is a detailed and well-considered collaboration with the local municipality to ensure that the proper trees are chosen and planted in the right locations to ensure a long-lasting impact to the community. 

What Goes Into a Tree Planting

• Purchase of trees (approximately $200 per tree)
  • ReLeaf Michigan plants landscape sized trees that are typically 6 feet tall or larger with trunks approximately 1.5" to 2” diameter. In our experience, larger trees have a great rate of establishment and survival and a more immediate impact on the environment.
  • Each tree purchase is made after securing at least 3 quotes to ensure best value.
• Planning the logistics in partnership with local municipalities
  • 1st site visit by our in-house arborists:
    • Review potential site(s) and discuss objectives of planting, making sure the right type of trees are planted in the right locations for long-term survival and best aesthetic and environmental impact
    • Determine soil conditions and other criteria to be taken into consideration (e.g. overhead wires)
    • Agree on planting locations as well as number and type of trees
  • 2nd site visit: Stake locations of each tree
  • 3rd site visit: Meet delivery truck to confirm correct order and quality of plant material prior to planting
  • 4th site visit (Planting Day): Two ReLeaf Michigan tree experts will oversee the event and teach volunteers how to properly plant and care for trees
• Community awareness
  • To make sure the community is aware of the planting and residents can attend to learn helpful tips from our arborists, we along with the community promote the event in a variety of ways, including an event release, flyers, social media, community websites, and more.
