Gastonia has 80,411 residents and a textile-mill history, so older mill-era neighborhoods and later development have different tree ages.

Trees and shrubs planted from October to December have the cool months to root before summer. We quote installs by the property, with a plant list and mulch spelled out in the estimate.
