[CANUFNET] Street Tree Planting

[Peter Shields]

Hi Crispin,

When I had large volumes in Markham (>1000per year)  supply, install, water, prune, mulch, stake, with 2 year warranty for just under $400 per tree.

Here in New Tecumseth, supply, install, 1 year warranty, about $335/tree.

These are average prices.  I could get you precise numbers if you need for each species.

Regards,

Peter Shields

Hello Folks,

I know talking numbers isn’t a favorite pastime of most (and some people are shy); however, I am looking to do a quick benchmarking of contract rates for street tree planting and would appreciate any information that you may have and would be willing to provide.

I am particularly interested in the unit rate costs for supply and install of 50-60mm caliper ball and burlap trees with warrantee and/or maintenance on a city street. I am most interested in street tree planting costs, not park trees, however, would be grateful for any info you would be willing to share

Thanks in advance

Crispin
