Our mission
Our mission is simple: we plant trees at zero cost to homeowners, placing saplings just outside the curb right‑of‑way to maximize shade and impact. Using the Groasis Waterboxx system, each young tree requires minimal maintenance and water, while our certified arborists carefully select the appropriate species and planting locations. By starting with smaller trees, we ensure stronger root development and greater drought resilience. We stand behind every planting with a 100% success guarantee: if a sapling fails to establish, we will replace it at no extra cost.

How it works
We identify low‑canopy areas in Austin, then homeowners complete a brief online application. Our arborist team reviews each submission, selects the tree species, and chooses optimal planting spots. For just $56 per tree, which covers planting, watering, and establishment, we deliver and install each sapling equipped with the Groasis Waterboxx.
