Expert Tree & Shrub Planting: Beauty, Sustainability, and Purpose for Commercial Properties

Enhance your commercial landscape with expert tree and shrub planting services from Skinner Lawns—designed to create visually appealing, resilient, and environmentally conscious properties tailored to Northeast Florida.

Why Thoughtful Planting Makes a Big Difference

Adds Beauty, Shade, and Energy Savings

Strategically planted shade trees can help reduce air conditioning needs by up to 30% and heating bills by 20–50%, delivering real cost savings over time. In Florida, combining trees and shrubs as part of Florida‐Friendly LandscapingTM design reduces energy use and runoff while enhancing curb appeal.

Promotes Sustainability & Environmental Health

Planting the right trees and shrubs improves stormwater absorption, filters pollutants, and slows runoff—supporting healthier urban waterways. Native and well-adapted plants reduce water and maintenance needs, support wildlife, and bolster biodiversity

Improves Property Value & Visitor Experience

Commercial landscapes designed with trees and shrubs offer more inviting entrances and façades—creating stronger first impressions and encouraging investment. Trees also increase property values while cleaning the air and mitigating noise, especially in busy environments.

Best Practices for Lasting Success

Right plant, right place

Choosing species that suit your site’s conditions—light, soil, space, climate, growth habits—means healthier plants and lower costs over time.

Planning and Placement

Avoid future problems by providing ample space—remember that tree roots often extend three times the width of the canopy. Stay clear of buildings, utilities, and surfaces to avoid infrastructure damage.

Follow Correct Planting Techniques

Dig wide but shallow planting holes, place the root flare at or slightly above soil level, and lightly backfill. Remove burlap, wires, or containers before planting to prevent root restriction and ensure healthy growth. Water thoroughly after planting and apply mulch correctly—2–3 inches deep, kept clear of trunks.
