Tree plantation in Dhaka — the right tree, planted properly, cared for after

We plan and plant trees for family homes, rooftops and terraces, schools, offices, factories and housing societies. Every planting includes species advice, a properly prepared pit, staking and a clear aftercare plan, so your saplings grow into healthy trees rather than dry sticks.

Who we plant for

Plantation for every kind of space

Whether it is three lemon trees on a Dhanmondi rooftop or five hundred saplings on a factory boundary in Savar, the principles are the same: the right species, a good pit, protection from goats and people, and water through the first dry season.

Home gardens

Fruit and shade trees chosen for the size of your plot, sunlight and how close they will be to the house.

Rooftops & terraces

Drum and planter planting with a light soil mix, drainage layers and dwarf or grafted varieties.

Schools & campuses

Shade trees for playgrounds and flowering trees for boundaries, often planted with students taking part.

Factory & corporate CSR

Large plantation drives with site planning, species lists, tree guards and progress reporting for your CSR records.

Housing societies

Avenue and boundary planting along internal roads, with a watering and replacement plan agreed with the committee.

Replacement planting

A new tree planted where one had to be removed, in a better position, with the stump ground out first.

Species guide

Trees that do well in and around Dhaka

We favour native and well-adapted species that cope with Dhaka’s heat, heavy monsoon and dry winter. Heights below are typical for urban conditions and vary with soil, space and pruning.

Tree	Bangla name	Best for	Typical mature height	Notes
Mango	আম	Home gardens, large compounds	10–15 m (grafted varieties smaller)	Grafted Amrapali and Himsagar suit gardens; needs full sun.
Jackfruit	কাঁঠাল	Home gardens, village-style plots	8–15 m	National fruit tree; plant well away from foundations.
Neem	নিম	Boundaries, schools, roadsides	12–18 m	Hardy, drought tolerant, useful shade and a traditional favourite.
Krishnachura	কৃষ্ণচূড়া	Avenues, campuses, parks	10–12 m	Brilliant red flowers in early summer; wide umbrella crown.
Jarul	জারুল	Avenues, society roads	10–15 m	Native tree with purple flowers; tolerates wet soil well.
Arjun	অর্জুন	Large compounds, ponds, factory boundaries	15–25 m	Strong native shade tree; good along water bodies.
Kadam	কদম	Parks, campuses	12–18 m	Fast growing with fragrant monsoon flowers.
Bokul	বকুল	Homes, entrances, temples and mosques	8–12 m	Evergreen, dense and fragrant; tolerates pruning.
Guava	পেয়ারা	Small gardens, rooftops (in drums)	3–6 m	Fruits within two to three years; easy to keep compact.
Lemon	লেবু	Rooftops, balconies, small gardens	2–4 m	Ideal for drums and large planters; needs regular feeding.

How we plant

Five steps that decide whether a sapling survives

Site visit & species plan

We check sunlight, soil, drainage, underground lines and the distance from walls and foundations, then recommend species and spacing.

Pit preparation

Pits of roughly 60 × 60 × 60 cm are dug and left to air, then refilled with topsoil mixed with well-rotted cow dung or compost.

Planting & staking

Healthy nursery saplings are planted at the correct depth, firmed in, tied to a bamboo stake and watered thoroughly.

Protection

Bamboo or mesh tree guards keep goats, cattle, bicycles and footballs away while the stem is young.

First-year aftercare

Watering guidance, weeding, re-staking and a check-up visit; any sapling that fails under our care plan is replaced.

Rooftop & terrace planting

A garden above the city

Rooftop gardens cool the floor below, give families fresh fruit and turn an unused roof into a pleasant space. Because roofs carry weight, we plan them carefully:

Planters and half-drums positioned over beams and columns, not mid-slab
Drainage layer and holes so water never pools on the roof
Light soil mix with cocopeat and compost to reduce load
Dwarf and grafted varieties — lemon, guava, mango, pomegranate, chilli and more
Simple watering routine for Dhaka’s hot, dry months

Corporate & community drives

Plantation drives that are still green next year

For factories, companies, schools and societies, we handle the whole drive: site plan, species list, sapling sourcing, pit digging, planting day logistics, tree guards and follow-up visits. After each visit you receive a short survival report with photos — useful for CSR and sustainability reporting.

Monsoon (June to September) is the best planting window, so we recommend booking larger drives by April or May.
