Site Preparation (tilling and/or disking) is the key to a successful planting. We recommend the ground is summer fallowed for one growing season prior to planting. This reduces problems with weeds and grasses that can compete with new tree plantings. The charge is $75.00 per hour. (Minimum charge is $75).

Mechanical Tree Planting is available for regular size conservation tree stock supplied by the district. The tree planter is used by the district to plant trees on properly prepared sites.

For Rural Home plantings - the charge is $2.50 per tree (includes the cost of the tree and having the district install) Minimum fee is $200.00
For Qualified Farm Program Plantings - the charge is $25.00 per 100 linear feet.

Mechanical Weed Control in tree rows is done
