At Ted Safford & Son Arborists, we offer professional tree selection and planting services in Mission Hills to help you enhance your property with the right trees planted the right way. Our experienced team will guide you through each step—from selecting the most suitable species to planting and long-term care—to ensure your trees grow strong, healthy, and beautiful for years.

Why Tree Selection Matters

Choosing the right tree involves more than just visual appeal. A carefully selected tree contributes to your property’s value, supports local ecosystems, and thrives with less maintenance. We consider climate compatibility, soil conditions, and available space to ensure your new trees are set up for success.

What We Consider When Selecting Your Trees

We assess your landscape’s conditions—such as sun exposure, wind, drainage, and soil type—to recommend the best tree varieties. Whether you want shade, seasonal color, privacy, or drought tolerance, we’ll help you find trees that serve aesthetic and functional purposes while minimizing potential issues like root interference or overcrowding.

How We Handle Tree Planting

Once you’ve chosen your trees, our team handles the planting with expert care—ensuring proper depth, spacing, and soil preparation to promote strong root development and long-term health. After planting, we provide clear instructions for watering, mulching, and early pruning to support successful establishment. For added peace of mind, we also offer maintenance services to monitor your tree’s growth and address any emerging issues as it matures.
