About Our Tree Planting & Transplanting Service in Westchester
Westchester Tree Pros helps you choose and plant trees suited to Westchester's soil and climate, and relocates established trees when landscaping or construction requires it. From coastal-tolerant species near the Sound to hardy inland selections, we handle siting, planting, and transplanting with the aftercare guidance to help new and moved trees thrive.
What's Included in Every Tree Planting & Transplanting Job
- Species selection for local soil and climate
- New-tree planting and siting
- Established-tree transplanting and relocation
- Coastal and inland species guidance
- Aftercare recommendations
Right Tree, Right Place
The most common tree-planting mistake is putting the wrong species in the wrong spot — a big shade tree too close to a foundation, or a salt-sensitive species where salt-air spray reaches it. Our siting consultation catches these before the tree goes in.
Species Selection
- Native hardwoods — red maple, red oak, sugar maple, tulip poplar
- Salt-tolerant coastal options — black gum, American holly, Eastern red cedar
- Understory / ornamental — serviceberry, dogwood, redbud
- Fast-growing — river birch, sweet gum (where appropriate)
See our guide on the best trees to plant for Westchester’s climate for species-by-site recommendations.
Transplanting
Moving an established tree for landscaping, an addition, or a construction project is possible with the right root-ball preparation and timing. We assess feasibility before quoting.
Aftercare
Establishment is the critical first 1–3 years — regular watering, mulch maintenance (not volcano mulching!), and light structural pruning as needed. You get a written aftercare guide with every planting.
Coverage Area
We plant and transplant trees across all of Westchester County and the surrounding 25-mile radius, matching species to local soil and climate in Larchmont, Scarsdale, Bronxville, New Rochelle, Rye, and White Plains.
