Probably you are wondering – Why would someone spend on transporting a large tree, when they can simply cut it down for more space? Tree moving & transplantation is more than that. It can take many seasons for a sapling to grow into a large tree, and considering that deforestation is one of the major environmental concerns, we should try and save as many trees as possible. There are also other reasons to opt for transplanting large trees –
- When a tree has outgrown its current space
- When the property owner has emotional & personal value of trees in the yard
- When there is a need to maintain certain landscaping designs
- When a tree is no longer suitable for the current location
- When a property is keen on retaining large trees for another property
For large tree transplantation and moving, you need to find a professional service. In the US, there are handful of companies that handle tree transplantation and relocation, and they can help you move large trees, not merely from one property to another, but also between states and even countries.
The process
Before deciding on tree transplantation, it is important to figure out the season and current condition of the tree. For instance, if the tree is dormant, cutting off the water source by taking out the roots isn’t going to cause a lot of shock. A lot of large tree transplantation happens during autumn, when the leaves fall off. For every species of tree, separate dormant seasons are considered. The next step is to take out the roots and transport the tree safely, for which special equipment, hydraulic spades, and vehicles are used. The whole process can take time, and sometimes, the tree is left in its current condition after initial digging, just to acclimatize it to the new condition and further moving.
Costing and more
Most companies that deal in tree transplantation and moving will be happy to offer an estimate, which is decided on many factors, including size of the tree, species and other things like distance. Yes, large tree transplantation is expensive, but it doesn’t have to break your bank.
At the end of the day, there is enough satisfaction in knowing that you have saved a tree, which will continue to give shade and oxygen to humans, besides adding aesthetic appeal to your yard. Check online for tree transplantation services now for estimates and further assistance.
