Our Services
At George Bridge Landscape Design, we specialize in hand-digging and handling large specimen plant material. Our processes include hand trenching the root ball and filling with water and/or a root bio-stimulant, followed by hand-digging the entire root ball, cutting individual roots, and shaping the ball as necessary. We also provide custom straps and specialized machinery to gently lift the trees out of the ground and transport them to their final destination. Our team takes great care to properly tie in branches within the confines of the trailers and secure the root balls to ensure a safe and successful delivery.
Our Facilities
Our Maryland facility, Acorn Farm, is situated on 20 acres, with 15 acres set up as an arboretum-style nursery operation. Our collection of plant material is scattered throughout the farm, allowing visitors to see how different plant materials work together. We pride ourselves on individual care for each plant, including soil preparation, hand watering, and root pruning as necessary. Our unique approach to specialized plant collection and handling enables us to provide our clients with the finest plant material for their projects.
