Tree and shrub planting in Silver Lake
Silver Lake planting decisions are usually thirty- to fifty-year decisions, and the species choice reflects that. We consider mature scale appropriate to the lot, soil conditions specific to the planting location, lakeshore exposure where relevant, and the homeowner's preservation goals. Planting is done with proper root flare exposure and follow-up establishment care recommended.
“In Silver Lake the planting decision is about what the village canopy will look like in 2060. Pick carefully.”

Planting the next specimen trees in Silver Lake.
Silver Lake plantings are long-term investments, whether you're replacing a lost specimen or meeting a waterfront replacement requirement.
Choosing a tree for the next century
When a specimen tree is replaced in Silver Lake, the new tree should be one that can grow into the same role. White oak, swamp white oak and bur oak are long-lived and suited to our soils. Blackgum and Kentucky coffeetree offer great fall color and structure. Sugar maple works where it has good soil and room. For smaller accent trees, serviceberry, redbud and hornbeam fit well.
The village's Fauser Arboretum is a good place to see mature examples of what different species become. Plan placement for the tree's full size, well away from the house, walls and the shoreline edge.
Waterfront replacements and planting right
If you've removed a healthy tree from a waterfront or riparian setback, the village requires a replacement from its approved species list. We can help you choose from that list based on your shoreline conditions and plant it where it will thrive and help hold the bank.
Planting is done with the flare exposed, roots corrected and mulch spread thin to the dripline, followed by a watering plan written for your site. Planting in the tree lawn is the village's call, so check with the village first. Light structural pruning in the early years builds a strong future specimen.
