Our expert team ensures each tree or shrub is carefully planted, staked, and positioned to thrive in North Carolina’s clay soils.
What are ball and burlap plants?
Ball and burlap trees and shrubs are plants that are field grown and professionally cared for until they reach the desired size. When these plants are ready, they are extracted from the native soil with a tree spade, the rootball is wrapped in burlap and then caged in wire so that it can be moved without disturbing the root mass. This method of growing trees allows landscapers to plant big beautiful mature plants in the landscape, instantly creating a landscape with visual interest.
Why Ball & Burlap Works Here
Mature trees and shrubs add structure to landscapes, but planting in Orange County clay soils requires thoughtful site preparation and drainage planning. Our team amends planting holes and positions plants for proper root establishment so they succeed in our local climate.

Native Plants for Chapel Hill & the NC Piedmont At Celestial Landscaping, we specialize in selecting resilient, beautiful species that thrive in our local Orange County clay soils. Choosing native plants reduces water needs and supports our local pollinators. Privacy Screening: We often recommend Nellie Stevens Holly or Eastern Red Cedar for year-round, evergreen privacy. Shade Trees: Willow Oaks and Red Maples provide iconic North Carolina canopy and brilliant fall color. Flowering Favorites: We love incorporating Eastern Redbuds, Native Azaleas, and Purple Coneflowers (Echinacea) for vibrant, low-maintenance garden beds. Soil Prep: Because our Chapel Hill soil is heavy in clay, we prioritize proper soil amendment and drainage during every installation to ensure deep root establishment.
