Planting

Whether you are planting an annual, perennial, shrub or tree, proper planting is necessary for the health of your plant.  The hole you dig must be the same depth as the plant in its container, but 6” to 12” wider, depending on the size.  Remove plant from its container and loosen the roots, cut any that may be root bound.   Gently place plant in previously dug hole, making sure it is 1” to 2” above grade.  Begin filling the hole with your amended soil, water when half filled.  Finish filling the hole after water has dissipated and water again.  If plant was in burlap, be sure to cut all the ropes and remove the burlap from the stems of the plant.  Another option would be to call Hawks and we will do all the work for you!
