There are tree transplants that any company can do and then there are tree transplants that require special skills and experience. When landscape architects and general contractors identify a significant tree transplant challenge we are often contracted to resolve the problem.

We have transplanted trees as large as 12” caliper and as tall as 45’ successfully and efficiently. We use appropriate equipment to excavate, transport, and plant trees to guarantee their survival after transplantation.
