You may wish to plant our trees yourselves or let Nature First’s teams plant them for you Here we have endeavoured to provide a realistic rule-of-thumb guide to supplying and planting a “typical” semi-mature tree. At the bottom of this page you will find costs for trees, delivery and planting options. The prices are to be used as a guide only and don’t allow for any specialist plant, transport, lifting equipment or temporary roadways that may be required. Delivery and Plant Hire It’s worth mentioning that when delivery is required, a single semi-mature tree will normally require the use of a large lorry and use the whole length of the lorry bed. Whether you order 1 or 10 trees, the price of delivery is likely to be the same. Similarly the use of a mini-digger, JCB or other excavating and handling equipment will be needed. This will normally be hired locally and the minimum hire period is always 8 hours. In an 8 hour period it may be possible to plant 10 trees or more (depending on size) thus the plant hire costs will often be the same for 1 or 10 trees. Given the above information one can see that there are considerable savings to be made when ordering larger quantities of semi-mature trees. Selection of Species and Costs The costs of most species of semi-mature trees are similar (within approximately 20%), you are paying for the cost of many years careful nurturing rather than for the tree itself. There are of course exceptions but the guide prices below will give an good indication of costs for most common species of field-grown broadleaved trees. Maintenance and Guarantee Finally there is the cost of maintenance to be considered. Trees are living entities and Nature First supply only the finest quality trees which we guarantee to be in healthy living condition when delivered or collected. With correct handling, planting techniques and aftercare we would expect a success rate in excess of 95% when planting semi-mature trees. However once delivered, we loose control of the trees and understandably cannot be responsible for their care and wellbeing thereafter. In order to provide clients with peace of mind Nature First offer an optional maintenance and guarantee service for up to 5 years from the date of planting. Example 1
