OUR SERVICES
Tree Planting, Evergreen Installation & Transplanting
Trees and evergreens give a property structure, privacy, and presence that no other landscape element can match. The right tree planted in the right spot becomes the asset that anchors your property for decades; the wrong species or the wrong site selection becomes a problem to manage. With 36 years of experience selecting, sourcing, and installing trees across Western Massachusetts, we make sure every tree we plant is one that belongs where it goes.
By Design Landscape Concepts handles the full range of tree services — privacy tree installation, evergreen screens, large-caliper tree installs, ornamental tree selection, and mature tree transplanting. We handpick specimens from trusted regional growers to ensure the highest quality, and clients are encouraged to be part of the selection process, visiting nurseries with us to find the perfect fit for their property.
With decades of experience, we take pride in sourcing and installing trees that will flourish for years to come. Contact us today to learn more about adding beautiful, mature trees and evergreens to your landscape.
Privacy Tree Installation
Privacy trees are one of the most common tree installation requests we handle across Western Massachusetts — and the difference between an effective privacy screen and a struggling row of plants comes down to species selection, spacing, and site analysis. A privacy tree installation is only as good as the trees that grow into it.
Common privacy tree options for Western MA properties include Green Giant arborvitae, Norway spruce, and other fast-growing evergreens chosen for their density, mature size, and resistance to deer browsing. Selection also factors in soil conditions, sun exposure, road salt tolerance for properties near busy streets, and how quickly the homeowner wants the screen to fill in.
We install privacy trees in single-row screens for property-line definition, double-row staggered plantings for denser coverage and better year-round visibility blocking, and integrated screens that combine evergreens with deciduous trees for layered visual interest.
Evergreen Screens & Large-Caliper Tree Installation
Evergreens do more than screen for privacy — they define property edges, anchor landscape designs, and provide year-round visual structure during the months when deciduous trees are bare. We install evergreens at every scale, from smaller specimen plantings (5–8 feet) for accent and design, to mature evergreen screens (10–14+ feet) when homeowners want immediate impact instead of waiting years for growth.
Large-caliper trees are a specialty of ours. A large-caliper installation places trees with significant trunk diameter and canopy size, delivering instant maturity to a landscape — particularly valuable for new construction properties where decades of natural growth aren’t an option. Sourcing, transporting, and installing large-caliper trees requires expertise, the right equipment, and careful timing to give the tree the best chance of establishing successfully in its new location.
Tree & Shrub Transplanting
Transplanting mature trees and shrubs — relocating established plants from one location to another — is a service most landscape contractors don’t offer. We do, and we’ve refined the process across 36 years of work. Transplanting brings real value when homeowners are renovating a property, removing established trees from a build site they want to preserve, or relocating a sentimental specimen to a more suitable location.
The process of harvesting and transplanting mature trees requires expertise and precision. Some trees are carefully hand-dug and secured with drum-lacing to protect the root ball; others require mechanical digging with tree spades sized to the specimen. We assess each tree’s variety, the time of year, and soil conditions to determine the best harvesting method, ensuring a seamless transition to its new environment.
Proper transportation and handling are equally important to the health of large trees and evergreens. From secure loading to careful placement on-site, we take every precaution to preserve the integrity of the root system and minimize transplant shock. Timing also plays a critical role — while some trees, like Birch, can only be transplanted in the spring, others such as maples, oaks, and dogwoods can thrive when transplanted in both spring and fall.

Common FAQ's
What types of trees and evergreens do you install?
We install a wide range of trees and evergreens suited to Western Massachusetts conditions — privacy evergreens like Green Giant arborvitae and Norway spruce; ornamental and shade trees including maples, oaks, dogwoods, and birch; large-caliper specimen trees for instant landscape impact; and other selections matched to the site, soil, and design goals. Species selection is part of every consultation.
What are the benefits of planting large-caliper trees and evergreens?
Mature trees and evergreens provide immediate impact, offering shade, privacy, and structure to a landscape from the moment they’re installed — instead of waiting years for smaller plantings to fill in. They help with erosion control, improve air quality, and enhance property value by creating a well-established, natural setting. Large-caliper installations are particularly valuable for new construction properties where decades of natural growth aren’t an option.
What’s the best evergreen for a privacy screen in Western Massachusetts?
The right choice depends on the property — common privacy evergreens for Western MA include Green Giant arborvitae (fast-growing, deer-resistant, dense), Norway spruce (tall mature size, classic look), and various spruce and fir varieties suited to specific site conditions. Selection factors in soil type, sun exposure, road salt exposure for properties near busy streets, deer pressure, and how quickly you want the screen to fill in. We walk through the options during the initial consultation.
When is the best time to plant trees in Western Massachusetts?
Fall is generally the best planting window for most trees in this region, typically running from mid-September through late October. Cooler air temperatures and still-warm soil let new plantings establish strong root systems before dormancy. Spring planting (April through May) is also reliable for most species, particularly evergreens and bare-root stock. Some species, like Birch, can only be planted in spring. We factor seasonal timing into every project.
How do you select the right tree for my property?
We carefully assess your site conditions — soil type and quality, drainage, sun exposure, mature space available, and how you want the tree or screen to function. Based on that assessment, we recommend species that will thrive in your specific environment rather than just survive. Clients are welcome to join us at the nursery to hand-select their preferred specimens for a truly personalized landscape.
Do you transplant existing trees and shrubs?
Yes — tree and shrub transplanting is one of our specialties, and a service most landscape contractors don’t offer. Whether you’re renovating a property, preserving established trees from a construction site, or relocating a sentimental specimen, we handle the harvesting, transportation, and replanting process using the right method for the species and the season. Drum-lacing for hand-dug trees, tree spades for mechanical digs — the right approach for each situation.
How long do newly planted trees take to establish?
Most newly planted trees take two to three growing seasons to fully establish their root systems. During that establishment window, proper watering, mulching, and care are critical. We provide guidance on post-install care during the final walkthrough and remain available for follow-up questions as your trees settle in.
