Advice for planting???

[combined tree services]

no offence guys but before you concider any of the above.

 

what is the soil you are planting on

 

what is the aspect of the planting

 

what is the topography exposed shaded etc???

 

what is the likley maintence input from your customer

 

lots of good species but if you plant a calcifuge in an acid area it will never make a good tree

 

also what is the long term aim it complete hedge screening wind break????

 

 

kev

 

but the origional question was - I've got a job coming up to remove some hawthorn trees for a client who's building a house, what would be a good species to replant to create some privacy, not be high maintenance and not have prolific roots that cause problems later on???

 

some will be planted about 8ft from where the house will be built, he is putting up a 6ft fence all the way along too, so it doesn't have to be trees that go in, just something that will create some added privacy???

 

so we have given some species that may be suitable , it is up to him to see what is suitable with respect to the questions that you have raised!!!!!
