Evergreen Tree & Shrub Planting in Palatine, IL
Evergreens are the backbone of a landscape that looks good twelve months a year. BJ's Lawn Service designs and installs evergreen trees and shrubs that give your property privacy, structure, and winter interest — long after annual color fades and deciduous trees drop their leaves.
From arborvitae privacy screens along a property line to boxwood, juniper, and yew plantings that anchor a foundation bed, we select evergreens proven to handle Zone 5 winters and Midwest summers. Each planting is placed with mature size, sunlight, and spacing in mind, so it fills in over time instead of outgrowing its spot.

Our Evergreen Installation Process
Site Review & Selection
We walk your property to understand what you want the evergreens to do — privacy, structure, screening, or accent — then match species to your sunlight, soil, and space.
- Privacy and screening goals review
- Sunlight, soil, and drainage check
- Zone 5 hardy species selection
Layout & Spacing Plan
Evergreens grow for decades, so placement matters. We plan spacing around mature width and height, keeping screens dense without crowding foundations, fences, or utilities.
- Mature size and spacing layout
- Setbacks from structures and utilities
- Staggered rows for fuller screening
Planting & Installation
We plant each evergreen at the proper depth in a prepared hole, backfill with amended soil, and water everything in so roots establish before the first stretch of hot or cold weather.
- Proper planting depth and root care
- Soil amendments and backfill
- Deep initial watering-in
Finishing & Care Guidance
We finish with mulch to hold moisture, clean up the work areas, and go over watering and first-winter care so your new evergreens establish strong and stay green.
- Mulch installation and final detailing
- Site cleanup
- Watering and winter care walkthrough
