number one tool is a shovel rate and dripline holes which is very important set a gloves fertilizer and your watering can in particular case we had a drainage drop what we did here as the lawn was coming it was too low and all the water was sitting in a little bit of a valley here so what we did was we dug all the bull existing material and then we installed a sandy Glen compost soil and then we raised this whole section up so it had a little bit of a crowd you always want your trees have a little bit of a crowd so they never sit in a dip and add water and always have nice drainage to the outside here we're going to show you guys how to take out these remove these pots from these trees grab a tree like this and hold it up against your legs take some of the weight off and we go around just pop the far-off like this what we try to do here have this top part of the tree base over here one inch two inch and a half higher than your grades on either side so you have a slight crown and then that way that promotes good drainage for either side of the tree out of the pot we have it in the ground here and as you can see here we have the existing root ball about inch inch-and-a-half City oh we know the existing soil which is still high enough to have a slight drought in your landscape and the reason we're leaving it high like that is for it for our bark mulch that to provide moisture in the summer and insulation in the winter and we will apply a good inch inch and half the bark mulch because it will settle what we do for spacing here as you can see that the bottom foilage here is touchy about three quarters to an inch marking this one here and that will provide in a year year-and-a-half a complete solid hedge and for topping when we pop the trees we don't want to top them for at least a year year and a half or the desirable height that you want if you want a tree way up here you won't you won't top it until you get to the height you want and then you start capping it because if you start capping it now the tree will just fatten up and it won't will take very long time to grow to its desired one of the most important things that you can do on a hedge is your drip line these drip lines here have holes every 12 inches and what we do is we will lay it right at the base of the trees here and we'll tuck it all in and then we'll come along and you can bury that with bark mulch now all the trees are in and the drip line is in now we have our inch to inch and a half of bark mulch on top of the trees here they mark mulch just goes to the top of the trees here no higher because you can't choke a tree OH - you have to put too much bark mulch on it and that's why we believe the tree up the natural root ball about an inch and then we cover the whole thing with bark mulch
