The Perfect Season for Planting

In Texas, October marks the beginning of the best time to plant trees. Cooler weather and reduced stress on new plantings allow roots to grow strong before spring arrives. Planting during the dormant season means the tree can focus on establishing its root system instead of supporting new leaf growth, setting it up for long-term health and success.

Why Choose Live Oaks?

Live Oaks are among the most beloved trees in Texas landscapes. Known for their broad shade canopy, sturdy hardwood, and incredible lifespan, they provide both beauty and functionality.

At Let Us Do It Landscaping, we specialize in installing:

  • Oversized Specimen Hardwood Trees
  • Oversized Shade Trees
  • Huge Specimen Oak Trees
  • Big 110” Box Oak Trees
  • Specimen 60”- 100” Box Size Trees

Whether you want a giant Live Oak that makes an immediate impact or a boxed specimen tree for easier transplanting, these oversized shade trees create instant value and comfort for your property.

Boxed-size specimens—such as our Big 110” Box Shade Trees—offer unique benefits. Wooden boxes insulate the root zone, protecting it from extreme Texas temperatures. This insulation supports healthier growth and makes transporting and planting large trees less stressful on the root system. Compared to standard plastic containers, wooden boxes provide a stronger foundation for long-term success.

Professional Installation Matters

Moving and planting huge specimen hardwoods is a specialized process. From root pruning months in advance to safely transporting the massive root ball, professional installation is key. At Let Us Do It Landscaping, we’ve developed expertise in transplanting oversized shade trees, ensuring they thrive in their new environment.

Proper aftercare—including staking, watering, and mulching—is also crucial. Our team provides guidance on how to keep your new tree healthy in the months following installation.

Plan Now for October

October may feel far away, but planning early ensures you’ll have access to the best trees available. Oversized and boxed specimens often require preparation, so reserving your tree now is the best way to guarantee it’s ready for fall planting.
