Frequently Asked Questions
What is commercial tree and shrub planting?
Commercial tree and shrub planting involves the selection, placement, and installation of woody plants for business, institutional, and multi-property sites. The goal is to enhance curb appeal, safety, screening, and long-term site performance while meeting visibility and maintenance requirements.
What types of commercial properties need tree and shrub planting?
Commercial tree and shrub planting is commonly used for office parks, retail centers, medical facilities, apartment communities, HOAs, schools, churches, industrial parks, and municipal properties, particularly for new construction, renovations, or site upgrades.
Why is professional planting important for commercial properties?
Professional planting ensures proper spacing, planting depth, soil preparation, and root establishment, which are critical for plant survival and longevity. In Pennsylvania’s climate, improper planting can lead to early plant failure, visibility issues, and higher replacement costs. Professional planting follows ANSI A300 standards, specifically regarding the ‘root flare’ visibility. Ensuring the root flare is 1-2 inches above grade prevents girdling roots—the #1 cause of premature tree death in commercial parking lots, protecting your initial capital investment for decades.
How are trees and shrubs selected for commercial sites?
Plant selection is based on mature size, growth rate, sightline requirements, soil conditions, sun exposure, drainage, and maintenance expectations. Commercial sites often require durable, region-appropriate species that perform well in Eastern Pennsylvania weather conditions.
Can tree and shrub planting improve safety and visibility?
Yes. Proper placement helps maintain clear sightlines near entrances, walkways, roadways, and parking areas. Strategic planting improves aesthetics without creating blind spots or safety concerns for pedestrians and drivers. Our planting plans utilize CPTED principles to maximize natural surveillance. By maintaining the ‘3-foot/7-foot’ rule—keeping shrubs below 3 feet and tree canopies above 7 feet—we ensure clear sightlines for security cameras and deter criminal activity, which can proactively lower insurance premiums for Lehigh Valley businesses.
Does commercial planting help with environmental and drainage concerns?
Yes. Trees and shrubs contribute to stormwater absorption, erosion control, shade, and soil stabilization. Well-planned planting can reduce runoff and support healthier site conditions across large commercial properties. For Pennsylvania commercial sites, trees like the Red Maple and White Pine act as vital green infrastructure. A single mature Red Maple can intercept over 1,000 gallons of stormwater annually, helping properties meet MS4 and NPDES runoff compliance while reducing municipal stormwater fees.
When is the best time for commercial tree and shrub planting?
Spring and fall are ideal planting seasons in Eastern Pennsylvania due to moderate temperatures and favorable soil moisture. Summer planting can be performed with proper watering plans, while winter is typically reserved for planning.
How long does commercial tree and shrub planting take?
Most commercial planting projects are completed in one to several days, depending on plant quantity, site size, and access. Larger developments may be completed in phases to align with construction schedules and operations.

What Are Our Clients Saying About Award Services?
Award Services was professional and very knowledgable, making them super easy to work with. The patio and landscaping project they brought to life exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend!
Smith's
Would highly recommend Award Services for any landscaping job. The crew was extremely professional, responsive, and accommodating to my needs. We wanted an area to put an above ground pool for the kids in the back yard, and Award Services took care of the entire job. They were extremely communicative to ensure that I got the finished results that I wanted, and even laid down the turf I had bought for the area. Cleaned up and put back together a fence that I had removed so they could access the area! I will definitely be utilizing Award Services for any future projects!

Award Services installed landscaping and hardscaping at our home. I highly recommend them. They were prompt, courteous, friendly and easy to work with. They did everything we agreed upon and even took care of some unexpected things that came up during the process. The design and execution of our project was top notch. We will have them back in the spring to work on our backyard.
Patti Vanin
Award Services created a deck and a patio in my backyard and a sidewalk in the front of my house. Eric, a master craftsman, did a beautiful job on all of the structures. My husband and I have had dozens of positive comments from our neighbors, and one neighbor hired Award Services to build his deck after seeing ours. The owner of Award Services gave us an accurate quote, the work was completed in a timely manner, and all of the workers were polite. The craftsmanship and excellence of the two decks created by Award Services are definitely the most stunning of all the decks in my neighborhood. I highly recommend this company.

Kathleen Bartholomew
We just finished a few smaller projects with Colby and Award Servies. We appreciated the detail and thought that went into our walkway, back yard beds, tress planted, and shed pad even though they were smaller projects. The crew was on time and cleaned up after themselves. Looking forward to using them again for our backyard patio and future outdoor projects. Services Landscape installations, Walkway landscaping
