Expert Tips and Why Natick Tree Removal is Your Best Choice

Removing a tree from your property is a significant decision, often necessary for safety, aesthetics, or health reasons. But what comes next? After tree removal, you're left with a prime spot in your landscape—a blank canvas that offers endless possibilities. Deciding what to plant after tree removal can be both exciting and overwhelming. With the right guidance, you can transform this area into a thriving garden or a beautiful focal point.

At Natick Tree Removal, we not only specialize in safely and efficiently removing trees, but we also help you envision and create the next chapter of your landscape. Here’s why you should consider giving us a call to handle your post-tree removal planting needs.


Assessing Your Landscape: What to Consider Before Planting

Before you rush to the nearest nursery, it's essential to assess the condition of your landscape.


The area where the tree was removed might have certain characteristics that can affect what you plant.

  1. Soil Quality: Tree roots often deplete the soil of nutrients. After removal, the soil may need to be enriched with compost or organic matter to support new growth.
  2. Sunlight Exposure: The tree that was removed likely created a certain pattern of shade in your yard. With it gone, areas that were once shaded may now receive full sunlight. Consider how the change in sunlight affects your choice of plants.
  3. Root System: Even after stump grinding, some roots may remain underground. These remnants can take time to decompose, potentially affecting new plant growth.
  4. Space Availability: The size of the area left behind will dictate what you can plant. Large trees often leave a substantial space that can accommodate anything from a garden to another tree or shrub.


What to Plant: Top Choices for Your Newly Cleared Space

Once you've assessed the area, it's time to think about what to plant. Here are some popular options:


  1. Flowering Shrubs: Hydrangeas, azaleas, and rhododendrons can add vibrant color and texture to your landscape. They thrive in different lighting conditions and can create a beautiful, layered effect.
  2. Perennials: Consider planting perennials like hostas, daylilies, or ornamental grasses. These plants return year after year, offering low-maintenance beauty to your garden.
  3. Fruit Trees or Bushes: If the space is suitable, why not plant something that can yield delicious rewards? Apple trees, blueberry bushes, or even grapevines can be excellent choices.
  4. Ground Cover Plants: To prevent soil erosion and keep weeds at bay, ground cover plants like creeping thyme, periwinkle, or ivy can be highly effective.
  5. New Trees: If you’re looking to replace the old tree with a new one, opt for species that suit your current landscape. Smaller ornamental trees like dogwood or Japanese maple can add elegance without overpowering your yard.
