Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in residential tree and shrub planting?
Residential tree and shrub planting includes plant selection, proper spacing, soil preparation, planting, mulching, and initial watering. Installations are planned to support healthy root establishment, long-term growth, and compatibility with local soil and climate conditions.
When is the best time to plant trees and shrubs in Pennsylvania?
The best times for tree and shrub planting in Eastern Pennsylvania are spring and fall, when moderate temperatures and natural rainfall support root development. Summer planting is possible with proper watering plans, while winter planting is generally avoided.
How do you choose the right trees and shrubs for my property?
Plant selection is based on sun exposure, soil type, drainage, mature size, spacing, and homeowner goals. In the Lehigh Valley, choosing region-appropriate species helps reduce maintenance needs and improves plant longevity. We prioritize native PA species like the Eastern Redbud and Winterberry. These are adapted to our local Zone 6b/7a climate, requiring up to 50% less water once established and supporting 90% more local pollinator species than non-native alternatives.
Does professional planting make a difference?
Yes. Professional tree and shrub planting ensures correct planting depth, soil backfill, mulching, and placement, which are critical for survival. Improper planting is one of the leading causes of early plant failure. Professional planting ensures the root flare remains 1–2 inches above the soil grade. Planting too deeply is the #1 cause of ‘girdling roots’ and premature death in Allentown and Bethlehem landscapes.
How long does tree and shrub planting take?
Most residential planting projects are completed in one day, depending on the number and size of plants. Larger installations or properties with grading considerations may take longer but are scheduled efficiently to minimize disruption.
Can tree and shrub planting improve privacy and curb appeal?
Absolutely. Strategically planted trees and shrubs can create privacy screens, define property lines, soften hardscapes, and enhance curb appeal. Many homeowners use planting to improve both aesthetics and functionality. According to the Arbor Day Foundation and real estate data, healthy, mature trees can increase your property value by up to 15%. Strategically placed shade trees can also reduce summer cooling costs by 8% to 12%.
Do newly planted trees and shrubs require special care?
Yes. Newly planted material benefits from consistent watering, proper mulching, and monitoring during the first growing season. Following recommended care practices helps ensure strong root establishment and long-term health.
Can trees and shrubs help with drainage or erosion?
Yes. Trees and shrubs play a role in stabilizing soil, improving water absorption, and reducing erosion, especially on slopes or in areas with runoff concerns common in parts of the Lehigh Valley.
What areas do you serve for residential tree and shrub planting?
Residential tree and shrub planting services are available throughout the Lehigh Valley, including Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Coopersburg, Quakertown, Hellertown, and surrounding communities across Lehigh, Northampton, and Bucks counties.

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
