Tree Planting in Crescent City, at a glance

Planting in Crescent City is coastal natives and windbreak replacements: shore pine, spruce, and wax myrtle that take salt wind, planted by the crew based in town.

Crescent City takes coastal weather that even Humboldt respects. Winter fronts come ashore here with nothing to slow them down, and the town's shore pines, spruce, and cypress carry the damage: broken tops, salt-burned crowns, and leaners that get a little worse every year. We run a second crew base in Del Norte because this town keeps a tree service busy.

How tree planting goes in Crescent City

Late fall through early spring is planting season in Crescent City, when the rain does the watering and roots establish before summer. Coastal flats here hold water all winter, and big spruce go over with the root plate attached when the soil is saturated and the wind is up. We dig wide and shallow, set the flare at grade, mulch, and leave you a watering plan for the first two dry seasons.

Winter fronts come ashore in Crescent City with nothing to slow them, and the shore pines, spruce, and cypress carry broken tops and salt-burned crowns to show for it. Salt-damaged, wind-broken conifers near homes, and leaners that get a little worse every winter, are the Crescent City trees that come down most. Our second crew is based in Crescent City, so response here is local and fast.

When Crescent City homeowners call for tree planting

  • A hole in the yard or the windbreak where a shore pine came out.
  • An orchard to start, or fruit trees to replace ones that were too far gone to restore.
  • A young tree that was planted too deep or too close and needs moving while it still can be.
  • A wind-exposed side of the property that needs a screen that will actually survive it.

Crescent City runs from in-town lots near the harbor to wooded parcels out Elk Valley Road, and our Del Norte crew base is here, so the equipment is already in town. Fire is a smaller worry on the Del Norte coast, but windbreak deadwood and cypress litter on the pasture edges still get cleared during maintenance.

Tree Planting in Crescent City: questions

When is the best time to plant in Crescent City?

Late fall through early spring, when the rain does the watering and roots establish before summer. Container trees can go in most of the year if the watering plan is followed.

Will you plant a privacy screen on a small Crescent City lot?

Yes, and we choose species that will not be a rigging job in thirty years: wax myrtle, coffeeberry, ceanothus, vine maple, and the right conifer where there is room.

How much water does a new tree need in Crescent City?

Deep water once or twice a week through the first two summers, more on sandy or exposed sites, less once the rains start. We leave a plan with the tree.

No. Crescent City is inside our normal Del Norte County coverage, and quotes there are free.
