When we first bought our property we were eager to start planting as well. A few trees we planted were set into low areas and we built up around. The are growing but not well. The next time we had a backhoe operator with a hammer attachment come and punch large deep holes. The trees we planted in the "good holes" grew faster and are much healthier. It usually more cost effective to punch holes while you have the operator there for clearing or other hard scape work.
