Tree & Shrub Planting Winnipeg

Prairie-hardy trees, shrubs and evergreens planted into properly built beds, as part of complete landscape projects across Winnipeg. Right plant, right depth, right soil, with the owner on every site.

Planting That Works With Winnipeg Clay

Planting is the layer that makes a finished yard feel settled. Hardscape gives a property its structure, and trees, shrubs and grasses give it softness, screening, seasonal colour and scale. Without them a new patio reads as a slab in a yard. With them it reads as an outdoor space that belongs to the house.
Winnipeg makes planting harder than most cities. Red River clay holds water and compacts hard, our winters kill anything that is not genuinely prairie-hardy, and evergreens dry out in the wind long before spring arrives. On top of that, the single most common mistake in residential planting is depth. A tree planted too deep with its root flare buried will decline slowly for years and nobody will know why.
We plant as part of complete landscape and hardscape projects, which means the beds are excavated and built at the same time as the patio and the grading, not cut into a lawn afterward. Soil is amended for drainage, plants are set at the right depth with the root flare visible, beds are edged cleanly, and everything is chosen for Manitoba conditions. Tyler Abraham is on site at every project. No subcontractors. No shortcuts.

Why Winnipeg Homeowners Choose Genesis for Planting

Prairie-Hardy Stock Only

We plant material that survives Manitoba, not whatever looked good on a garden centre shelf in May. Winter hardiness, mature size, exposure and salt tolerance near driveways all get considered before anything goes in the ground.

Planted at the Right Depth

The root flare stays visible. Planting too deep is the most common reason trees fail slowly in residential yards, and it is entirely avoidable. We set every tree and shrub at proper grade and backfill without burying the trunk.

Beds Built, Not Cut

Beds are excavated and built as part of the project, with drainage considered and soil amended for clay ground. That is a different job than carving a shape out of the lawn and dropping plants into it.

Designed With the Hardscape

Planting is planned alongside the patio, walls, rock and lighting, so bed lines follow the design, mature sizes are accounted for, and nothing is planted where it will be crowded or in the way in five years.

Owner on Every Site

Tyler Abraham is not a project manager in an office. He is physically on site at every project, setting bed lines, checking depth and placing every specimen tree by eye. Placement is a design decision, not a labour task.

No rushed timelines

We do not double-book crews or chase volume. Each project gets the full team's attention. If your timeline is unrealistic, Tyler will tell you and decline the work rather than compromise the result.

What We Plant and How We Build Beds

Planting is two jobs: the material going in, and the bed it goes into. We do both as part of the wider landscape build.

Trees, Shrubs, Evergreens and Grasses

Shade and ornamental trees for scale, shrubs for structure and screening, evergreens for winter presence, and ornamental grasses for movement and late-season colour. Everything selected for prairie hardiness, mature size and the exposure of the spot it is going into.

Garden Beds, Soil and Edging

Beds are excavated, shaped and built with soil amended so roots can actually establish in clay ground. Edging holds the bed line, and a mulch or decorative rock finish keeps moisture in and weeds down.

Not sure what will survive in your yard?

During the consultation, Tyler will look at your exposure, soil, drainage and sight lines, and walk you through what works in that specific spot and what it will look like at mature size. We bring samples to every site visit. You do not need to decide in advance.

How We Plant in Winnipeg

Most homeowners researching a $50K to $100K outdoor project cannot find a contractor who answers all three questions: Are they real? Can I see their work? Will they stand behind it? Here is exactly how a Genesis landscape build runs, step by step.

Free Quote

You call or submit a form with your project scope and location. Tyler or a team member responds within one business day with questions and preliminary guidance. If it sounds like a fit, we move to a site visit.

Site Visit & Design

Tyler visits the site, assesses your soil, drainage, sun and wind exposure and the sight lines you want screened. He takes precise measurements and photographs, and bed lines, plant selection and mature sizes are discussed in person.

Proposal, Permitting, & Scheduling

A detailed line-item proposal covers all labour, plant material, soil, edging and mulch or rock, with a layout plan included. Once approved, we lock in a confirmed start date and source the plant material.

Bed Construction & Soil

Beds are excavated and shaped, grade and drainage are set so water moves away rather than sitting in the bed, and soil is amended for the clay underneath. Edging is installed to hold the line.

Planting, Finishing & Final Walkthrough

Trees and shrubs are placed, turned for their best face and set at proper depth with the root flare visible, then backfilled, watered in and finished with mulch or decorative rock. Tyler then walks the finished beds with you, explains the warranty, and provides the watering schedule the plants need to establish.

What Winnipeg Homeowners Say

Planting Across Winnipeg and Surrounding Communities

Genesis serves Winnipeg homeowners city-wide and across the north-corridor suburbs. Below are the primary communities where we regularly build garden beds and plant trees and shrubs as part of complete landscape projects.

Common Questions About Working With Genesis

Planting is priced by the material selected, the size of the specimens, and how much bed construction, soil and edging the project needs. Larger caliper trees cost considerably more than smaller stock because of the material and the equipment to place them. We plant as part of complete landscape projects, so it is quoted within the full scope and final pricing requires an on-site visit.
Spring and early fall are both good windows, because cooler temperatures and steadier moisture help roots establish. Summer planting works as well, it simply needs more watering through the first season.
Our workmanship warranty covers the installation: bed construction, soil, depth and placement. Plants are living material, and establishment depends heavily on watering, so we provide a clear watering schedule at the final walkthrough.
No. Planting is offered as part of complete landscape and hardscape projects, where the beds, grading, drainage and hard surfaces are designed together. We do not take on planting or soil-only jobs.
No. Genesis installs, we do not provide ongoing garden maintenance or pruning. We give you care guidance at the walkthrough so you or your maintenance company can look after it properly.
