Moving

Don't lose a tree you love — relocate it. We have the equipment and expertise to move large, established trees with minimal stress and maximum care.

Why move instead of remove?

Relocating a tree preserves years of growth, sentimental value, and environmental benefit — when it's done right.

Preserve What You Love

Don't lose a tree you've grown attached to. Moving it preserves years of growth and sentimental value.

Better Placement

Reposition a tree that's in the wrong spot — too close to a structure, blocking a view, or simply better suited elsewhere.

Minimal Stress

Our equipment and technique minimize transplant shock, giving your tree the best chance of thriving in its new location.

Retain Maturity

Keep the size and canopy you already have — no waiting years for a replacement to grow back to the same scale.

Eco-Friendly Choice

Moving a tree instead of removing it keeps carbon sequestration intact and avoids the waste of cutting down a healthy tree.

Large Trees Welcome

We have the equipment to handle large, established trees that most companies won't attempt to move.

How we move your tree

A careful, methodical process that gives your tree the best chance of thriving in its new home.

01

Site Assessment

We evaluate both the current location and the destination — soil, access, root zone, and any obstacles.

02

Tree Health Check

We assess the tree's health and root structure to determine if it's a good candidate for relocation.

03

Destination Preparation

We prepare the new planting hole with proper dimensions, soil amendments, and drainage before moving day.

04

Professional Relocation

Our equipment carefully extracts the tree with an adequate root ball and transports it to the new location.

05

Aftercare Plan

Moved trees need extra attention. We provide a written aftercare plan covering watering, staking, and monitoring.

Questions about tree moving

How large of a tree can you move?

We can move large, established trees — the exact size depends on species, root structure, and site access. Contact us with photos and we'll assess feasibility.

What's the survival rate for moved trees?

Survival rates depend on species, tree health, timing, and aftercare. We'll be honest with you during the assessment about the likelihood of success for your specific tree.

What's the best time of year to move a tree?

Early spring (before bud break) and late fall (after leaves drop) are generally the best times. Dormant trees experience less transplant stress. We'll advise on timing during your assessment.

How far can you move a tree?

We can move trees within your property or to a nearby location. Long-distance transport is possible for the right tree and project — contact us to discuss.

Do you guarantee the tree will survive?

We can't guarantee survival — transplanting is a biological process with variables outside our control. What we guarantee is that we'll use best practices and give your tree the best possible chance.
