When it comes to tree planting and mulch installation in Houston, few companies can seamlessly shift from one client’s yard to another in a single day and do it all with expert care.
That’s exactly what Crenshaw Landscapes accomplished in a recent project that highlights their professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to deliver.
Sarah from Crenshaw shared:
“Today we are finishing up a recent job where we planted a couple trees and all we needed was one more tree for them… now we’re moving on to a secondary location that needs new mulching after we de-weed and prune some of the plants.”
Two properties.
Two different scopes.
One dedicated team.
Why Tree Planting and Mulch Installation Work So Well Together
Tree planting sets the long-term tone for a landscape.
Mulch protects the investment and supports seasonal growth.
When combined with pruning and de-weeding, these services offer an all-in-one seasonal refresh ideal for spring or pre-summer preparation in Houston.
Here’s how these services complement each other:
| Service | Role in Landscape Health | Seasonal Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Tree Planting | Adds structure & shade | Spring or Fall |
| Mulch Installation | Retains moisture, improves soil | Spring & Summer |
| Pruning | Controls growth, removes damage | Late Winter or Spring |
Crenshaw’s work aligns with what your yard needs when it needs it most.
Tree Planting Completed Finishing Strong at Location One
Crenshaw Landscapes began their day by wrapping up a tree planting project for a returning client in Houston.
The team had already installed several trees on a previous visit, and this morning’s focus was completing the final one.
With precise placement and attention to spacing, the last tree was planted to enhance both curb appeal and long-term shade.
By completing the project with consistency and care, Crenshaw ensured that the landscape looked natural, well-balanced, and ready to thrive.
This wasn’t just about planting it was about finishing with excellence.
Common Issues Mulch Helps Solve in Houston Landscapes
Here’s why mulch is a must for every Houston homeowner:
- Prevents weed growth
- Maintains soil moisture
- Reduces root stress in high heat
- Prevents erosion from sudden rains
- Gives beds a polished, maintained look
Different mulch types work better for different landscape goals.
Here’s a quick guide:
| Mulch Type | Appearance | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Hardwood | Natural brown, blends in | General beds and trees |
| Pine Bark | Rich color, fluffy | Acid-loving plants |
| Dyed Mulch | Black, red, or brown | High-contrast visual impact |
What Sets Crenshaw Apart Speed, Skill, and Strategy
Many landscaping companies only do one thing at a time maybe they specialize in planting or just maintenance.
Crenshaw combines both.
That means:
- Fewer appointments
- Less downtime
- Streamlined costs
- Better continuity of care
Clients don’t need to find separate crews for trees, mulch, or pruning Crenshaw handles it all.
Here’s how their process typically flows:
- Assessment – Determine what plants and trees need help
- Weeding & Pruning – Prepare the area for new mulch
- Tree Placement & Planting – Focus on root depth and spacing
- Mulch Application – Even distribution and finishing touch
| Step | Task Completed | Benefit Delivered |
|---|---|---|
| Site Prep | De-weeding and pruning | Healthier base, better look |
| Tree Completion | Final tree planted | Shade, value, structure |
| Mulch Installation | Full bed coverage | Moisture retention, curb appeal |
Ideal Times for Tree Planting and Mulch Refresh in Houston
Timing matters and in Houston’s climate, these services are best scheduled during transitional seasons.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Tree Planting
Best in late fall or early spring, when trees are dormant or just beginning to grow. This ensures roots establish before the heat kicks in. - Mulch Installation
Ideal in spring to retain moisture and keep roots cool as summer approaches. - Pruning and Weeding
Needed anytime you see overgrowth, dead branches, or invasive species.
Here’s a seasonal planning table:
| Season | Service Recommended | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Early Spring | Pruning, Mulch, Tree Planting | Jump-start new growth |
| Late Spring | Mulch & Watering Adjustments | Prepares beds for heat |
| Fall | Tree Planting, Leaf Cleanup | Strong root development season |
Shifting Gears Mulch and Maintenance at the Second Property
After wrapping up the tree work, the crew headed to a second location to tackle a seasonal landscape refresh.
This site required thorough de-weeding, detailed pruning of shrubs and plants, and a complete re-mulching of the flower beds.
The Crenshaw team approached it with the same care and efficiency, preparing the soil, shaping the greenery, and applying a fresh layer of mulch to lock in moisture and sharpen the yard’s visual appeal.
The result was a polished, healthy, and vibrant yard perfect for the warmer months ahead and a clear example of what responsive, full-service landscaping looks like.

FAQs
How often should mulch be replaced in Houston?
Mulch should be refreshed at least once a year, ideally in spring. It breaks down due to heat and moisture, so regular updates are important.
When is the best time to plant trees in Houston?
Fall and early spring are ideal for tree planting. These seasons offer moderate temperatures and consistent rainfall for root establishment.
Why is pruning necessary before mulching?
Pruning removes dead or diseased growth and shapes plants, creating space for fresh mulch and improving the overall health of your garden beds.
