I am having several western cedar pine trees removed in my yard as they've grown massively out of control and are too close to the house. I would like to plant a maple variety in the same general area. Is there any special preparation I need to do, in consideration of the soil content? The pH is likely relatively low. Also, what time of year should I consider planting new trees? I am in the pacific northwest, so the temperature doesn't get cold, it just rains.
Thanks in advance.
