When moving a tree, several factors must be considered to ensure the process is successful and the tree thrives in its new location. First, the tree’s size and age play a crucial role; younger and smaller trees are generally easier to move and adapt better to new environments. The tree species is also important, as some trees have extensive root systems or are more sensitive to changes in location.
Another key factor is the timing of the move. Trees are best transplanted during their dormant seasons—late fall or early spring—when they are not actively growing. This reduces the stress on the tree and increases the chances of survival. Additionally, soil conditions and the suitability of the new site must be assessed. The soil type, drainage, and exposure to sunlight in the new location should match the tree’s natural habitat.
Proper preparation of the root ball is essential to minimize damage to the roots during the move. Watering the tree thoroughly before and after the transplant helps maintain hydration. Hiring a professional arborist is advisable to ensure the process is done correctly, as they have the expertise to handle potential challenges and maximize the tree’s chances of a healthy transition.

We carefully assess the tree’s health, root structure, and soil conditions, and then use specialized equipment and techniques to minimize root damage and stress during the move. After relocation, we provide aftercare instructions to enhance survival rates.
The cost varies based on tree size, distance to be moved, accessibility, and any additional care needed post-move. We offer free consultations to provide an accurate quote.
The time required depends on the size and location of the tree, as well as the complexity of the move. Small trees may take a few hours, while large trees could take a day or more.
We can move most tree types, including small ornamental trees and large mature trees. However, the feasibility depends on factors like tree size, health, species, and location.
The ideal time for tree moving is during the dormant season—late fall, winter, or early spring—when trees are less stressed and can recover more easily.
