Bring Color, Shade, and Life to Your Landscape
Trees, shrubs, perennials, and seasonal color planted in properly prepared beds, with species chosen to thrive in Houston heat, humidity, and clay soil.
Plant, Tree & Shrub Installation
The Right Plant in the Right Place
Plant, tree, and shrub installation adds the color, texture, shade, and privacy that make a landscape feel alive and complete. In Houston, choosing and planting correctly matters as much as the plants themselves. Heavy clay soil drains slowly, summers bring intense heat and humidity, and sudden storms can drown roots planted too deep or in low spots. Native and adapted species such as live oaks, cedar elms, yaupon holly, Texas sage, salvia, and muhly grass handle these conditions far better than many popular nursery choices. Proper installation includes amending soil, digging holes to the right width and depth, setting root flares at grade, mulching, and watering thoroughly. Haley's Landscaping Service Inc. installs trees, shrubs, perennials, and seasonal color for homes and businesses throughout Houston, Texas and nearby communities, creating planting beds that look beautiful from day one and continue thriving as they mature over the years.

Plantings Chosen and Installed for Long-Term Health
Healthy landscapes start with good choices and careful planting. These practices guide every bed and tree our team installs across Houston.
Species Suited to Houston
Native and well-adapted plants tolerate heat, humidity, heavy rain, and clay soil far better than many common nursery choices. Selecting the right species reduces watering, pest problems, and costly replacements during the first few demanding summers.
Beds Prepared Before Planting
Compacted clay limits root growth and drainage. We loosen soil, add compost and quality amendments, and raise beds where needed, giving new plants the healthy growing conditions they require to establish quickly and grow vigorously for years.
Trees Set at the Proper Depth
Planting trees too deep is one of the most common causes of early decline. We locate the root flare and set it at or slightly above grade, helping roots breathe and preventing rot in Houston's heavy, wet soils.
Spacing Planned for Mature Size
Small plants grow quickly in the Gulf Coast climate. We space shrubs and trees for their mature size, avoiding overcrowding, constant pruning, and plants pressing against walls, windows, roofs, or foundations as they fill in over time.
Mulch That Protects Roots
A proper layer of mulch keeps soil cooler, holds moisture, and suppresses weeds through hot summers. We apply mulch at the right depth and keep it away from trunks and stems to prevent rot and pest issues.
Watering Guidance for Establishment
New plantings need consistent watering until roots spread into the surrounding soil. We provide clear instructions or connect beds to drip irrigation, helping trees, shrubs, and perennials establish successfully through their critical first growing season in Houston.

How it works
How Plant, Tree, and Shrub Installation Works
Your plant, tree, and shrub installation begins with a visit to review sun exposure, soil, drainage, existing plants, and the look you want to achieve. We recommend species suited to each location and provide a clear proposal. On installation day, our crew prepares beds, amends soil, digs properly sized holes, sets each plant at the correct depth, backfills carefully, adds mulch, and waters thoroughly before reviewing care instructions so your new plants get off to a strong start.
Healthy plantings make every other landscape feature look better. Many customers pair new beds with irrigation systems for consistent watering or start with landscape design and architecture to plan plantings across the entire property. As plants mature, our tree, shrub, and hedge care keeps them shaped and healthy. Haley's Landscaping Service Inc. has served Houston, Texas for more than 17 years.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to plant trees in Houston?
Fall and early winter are ideal for planting trees and shrubs in Houston because cooler temperatures and seasonal rain help roots establish before summer heat arrives. Spring planting also works with consistent watering through summer.
Which trees grow well in Houston yards?
Live oaks, cedar elms, Shumard oaks, bald cypress, and Mexican plums are strong choices for Houston conditions. The best option depends on available space, sun exposure, soil drainage, and how much shade you want over time.
How much space do trees need from my house?
Large shade trees generally need significant distance from foundations, roofs, and utilities, while smaller ornamental trees can be planted closer. We plan placement based on mature canopy and root spread to avoid costly problems in future years.
Do new plants need extra watering?
Yes. New trees, shrubs, and perennials need regular, deep watering until roots establish, often through the first growing season. Watering frequency depends on weather, plant type, and soil conditions, and drip irrigation helps significantly with consistency.
Should I use native plants in my landscape?
Native and adapted plants are excellent choices because they handle local heat, rain, and clay soil while requiring less water and maintenance. They also support pollinators and birds, adding real ecological value to your Houston landscape.
Why choose Haley's Landscaping Service Inc. for planting?
