Sourcing high quality trees
Sourcing high quality trees
Finding a reliable supplier of healthy trees and bushes is an essential step in creating a beautiful and resilient landscape. It will also help your project stay on track and on budget.
We can help you source trees from reliable domestic and international suppliers. We can also provide independent, third-party expertise to inspect trees during the growth stage at the nursery and before they are shipped to your project site.
Tree supply
Sourcing trees on schedule, within budget and in sufficient quantities can be a challenge in the Kingdom. Advanced planning is key to ensuring that you are able to get the types of trees (species and size) that you need.
- Native species: Native species are preferred for Royal Reserves, national parks and other rural areas. The smaller trees typically require 3-5 years to grow from local seeds. Supplying these trees is a multi-year effort requiring long-term planning.
- Adapted species: Adapted species are preferred in urban areas for their aesthetic appeal and the shade they provide. The smaller trees typically require 20-22 months 2 from seed to planting, including growth in the foreign nursery, containerized shipment to Saudi Arabia, and acclimation in local shade houses.
Quality control
By implementing stringent quality control measures, you can ensure the longevity and health of trees you source, contributing to a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing environment.
Our arborists and other experts follow guidelines set by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to assess the health, structural integrity, and aesthetic value of trees.
- Health assessment: We assess the overall tree health (including leaf color, bark condition, and growth patterns), and we inspect the trees for disease, pests and environmental stress.
- Structural integrity: We evaluate the tree’s branching structure to identify any signs of cracks, splits or decay.
- Aesthetic evaluation: We look at the tree's shape, size and overall appearance to ensure it will fit within its intended environment.
Available species
A wide range of adapted tree species from domestic and international suppliers have been successfully planted and tested in the Kingdom over the past 20 years.
Over 100 species of trees have been tested and can thrive in the Saudi climate.
