Select replacement trees for the space they will occupy.
San Marcos links tree selection to location, soil and sunlight in its planting guidance. Begin a new-tree project by identifying the function: shade for a sitting area, screening, or a specimen visible from an entrance. The eventual canopy and underground infrastructure matter more than how full a planting looks on delivery day.
Separate planting, removal and evaluation of retained trees in the proposal. Identify access for delivery and the person responsible for establishment care. Where a renovation brings new paving near existing trees, discuss protection before excavation starts. If removal is contemplated, confirm applicable review and any assessment needs before treating it as a routine part of bed preparation.
