Most homeowners know trees need water. Few understand root flare depth, soil drainage, or how Chatham-Kent and Tilbury's heavier clay soils affect a newly planted tree's survival. Goodreau's certified arborists do, with four decades of hands-on experience in this region.
We select species based on your site's soil type, sun exposure, proximity to structures, and long-term space. ISA-certified, fully insured, and equipped for every scale of tree planting, from a single ornamental to a full municipal project.

Your tree’s success is not left to chance. Every step is carefully designed to give your investment the best possible start.
Site Evaluation & Planning
Our arborist visits your property and assesses soil conditions, drainage, available space, sun exposure, and proximity to structures and utilities. Suitable planting areas are identified, and underground or overhead considerations are flagged before species selection begins.
Tree Selection
Based on the site evaluation, we recommend species suited to Chatham-Kent and Tilbury's climate, soil, and light conditions, matched to your long-term goals, whether shade, privacy, ornamental interest, or wildlife habitat.
Soil Preparation & Professional Tree Planting
Proper planting depth is critical. The root flare must sit at or just above grade. We prepare the hole, amend the soil where needed, and ensure the correct depth, orientation, and root-collar exposure on every job.
Mulching and Watering Guidance
Every newly planted tree receives a proper mulch ring, with wood chip mulch extending to the drip line and kept clear of the trunk. We walk you through a watering schedule to support successful establishment through the first two seasons.
Whether you're replacing a lost tree, adding shade to a sun-exposed yard, or undertaking a larger revegetation project, Goodreau Tree Care brings the expertise and equipment to handle every scale of work across Chatham-Kent and Tilbury's residential, commercial, and municipal properties, done properly, every time.

1. How can I make sure that the soil is good for tree planting?
A: A site assessment is the most reliable way to evaluate your soil. Our arborists check drainage, compaction, pH, and organic matter during the consultation. In Chatham-Kent and Tilbury, clay-heavy soils are common and directly affect drainage around newly planted trees, something we account for in both species selection and planting technique.
2. What is the best time of year for tree planting in Chatham-Kent and Tilbury?
A: Early spring before bud break and fall after leaf drop are the two best windows for most species. Container-grown trees can be planted through much of the growing season with proper care. Our arborists will advise on the best timing for your specific situation.
3. How often should a newly planted tree be watered?
A: Newly planted trees typically need deep watering two to three times per week through the first growing season, tapering off as roots establish in year two. We provide detailed watering guidance as part of every tree planting job across Chatham-Kent and Tilbury.
4. Do you provide tree planting consultation?
A: Yes. Every tree planting project begins with a free on-site consultation. Our arborist walks your property, assesses site conditions, and provides honest species recommendations and an itemized estimate, before any commitment is made.
