Tree Planting Saskatoon
Tree Removal Saskatoon has been helping Saskatoon homeowners choose and plant the right trees and shrubs since 2015. Whether you have just had a tree removed and want to replace it, or you are looking to add new greenery to an open space, our certified arborists guide you through every step of the process.
Saskatoon sits in growing zone 3B — one of the more challenging climates in Canada for tree planting. Choosing the wrong species, planting at the wrong depth, or ignoring soil conditions can cost you years of wasted growth. We help you get it right from the start with expert consultation on:

Companion Planting
When planting two or more varieties together, one of three things happens. They coexist without affecting each other, they compete and stunt each other’s growth, or they actively help each other thrive. That last outcome is what every homeowner hopes for — but achieving it requires knowledge of how different species interact.
Our certified arborists have spent years helping Saskatoon homeowners choose compatible tree and shrub combinations that complement each other and flourish together. Whether you want to add colour with flowering varieties, create a privacy screen, or simply fill an empty space in your yard, we can help you choose the right combination for your specific conditions. Once your new trees are established, regular tree trimming service keeps them healthy, properly shaped, and safe for years to come.
Proximity
Before planting anything new in Saskatoon, it is worth thinking about why you want a tree and what you need it to do. Are you looking for shade, wind protection, a privacy screen, or something to attract wildlife? The answer determines which species will serve you best.
For shade trees that grow tall, plan for at least 15 to 20 feet of clearance from your home. Keep root systems in mind too — tree root networks can extend up to three times the width of the crown, potentially causing structural issues with patios, driveways, sidewalks, and underground pipes if planted too close.
Larger trees will also outcompete smaller plants nearby for water and nutrients as they mature — so placement relative to existing shrubs and gardens matters. Be mindful of what is growing in neighbouring yards as well. Fruiting or littering tree varieties can create disputes with neighbours, which is why we generally advise against them in tight urban lots.
Tree Removal Saskatoon helps you think through all of these factors before a single hole is dug — call (306)400-5425 for a free consultation.
Tree Planting And Soil
Knowing your soil type before planting saves time, money, and frustration. We always recommend starting with a nutrient and pH test to understand exactly what you are working with before any new planting begins.
Soil type in Saskatoon typically ranges from clay to silt to sand — or somewhere in between. The ideal combination is 20% clay, 40% silt, and 40% sand, commonly referred to as loam. This balance provides excellent drainage while retaining enough moisture and nutrients for strong root development.
pH and nutrient testing can be done with basic DIY kits available at local gardening stores — these give a general picture of your soil’s condition. For homeowners looking to maximize growing potential, a more precise professional test will tell you exactly what amendments are needed before planting begins.
Tree Removal Saskatoon handles soil assessment as part of our full tree planting consultation. Call (306)400-5425 and we will take care of everything from soil prep to final planting. After planting, proper mulching and aeration gives your new trees the best possible start. If an old stump is still in the ground where you plan to plant, our stump grinding team can clear it completely before work begins.
