— The Challenge

Why this matters

Most tree failures can be traced back to poor planting. The wrong species for the site, a hole too deep or too narrow, improper staking, or no aftercare plan — these are the reasons 70% of planted trees don't survive past five years. Good planting is an investment that pays off for decades.

— Our Process

How we do it

01

Site & Species Consultation

We assess your soil, sun exposure, space constraints, and goals to recommend species that will thrive in your specific location.

02

Sourcing & Delivery

We source healthy, well-structured specimens from reputable nurseries and deliver them to your site with minimal transport stress.

03

Planting

The planting hole is prepared to the correct depth and width. Root balls are inspected, circling roots corrected, and the tree is planted at the right level — not too deep.

04

Staking & Aftercare Plan

Trees are staked only when necessary and with loose, removable ties. You receive a watering and care schedule for the first two years.

Common questions

What trees are best for Centurion gardens?
Indigenous species like Celtis africana (white stinkwood), Combretum erythrophyllum (river bushwillow), and Olea europaea subsp. africana (wild olive) are excellent choices that thrive in our climate and support local wildlife.
When is the best time to plant?
Early spring (August–September) or early autumn (March–April) are ideal. Avoid planting during frost season or the peak of summer heat.
How long until my new tree needs pruning?
We recommend a structural pruning session at 2–3 years after planting to establish good branch architecture. Until then, the tree should be left to establish its root system.
