During a landscaping project, you may have to make room for trees that will eventually grow to great heights. Trees can add character, colour, and a natural charm to outdoor spaces. But ensuring they thrive, can be challenging. Sometimes, tree support stakes are necessary to help a tree flourish, but other times, the product in question can do more harm than good. If you're an experienced landscaper, you may be familiar with when stakes are appropriate and when they aren't, but if you're an amateur or attempting a DIY garden transformation project, it's helpful to know when tree support stakes are useful.

Stakes are helpful to anchor new trees in place. This enables the roots to have a chance to take firm hold in the soil. But if you tie the stake to the tree too tightly, you may cause it to grow oddly shaped. Plus, you could even kill it in certain situations. It's a good idea to tie stakes to trees using our high quality flat tree tie in a figure-8 shape. This gives the trunk the flexibility to move with the wind without interfering with the roots. Also, if the root ball is small compared to the tree's height, you need tree support stakes to prevent the plant from collapsing in high winds.
