Planting & transplanting
Something has to go back. And a tree in the wrong place can often be moved rather than destroyed.
New planting from whips through to semi-mature standards — the right species for the ground, staked and mulched properly, and watered through the first two summers, which is when most new trees actually die.
Transplanting is the more interesting job. With the crane and enough root ball we can lift an established tree and move it, whether it has outgrown its spot or is in the way of a build. It is not cheap and it is not guaranteed, but it beats losing a thirty-year-old tree.
Fair questions
- When should trees be planted?
- Bare root goes in between November and March while dormant. Containerised can go in most of the year with enough watering.
- How big a tree can you move?
- Depends on the root ball, the ground and access for the crane. Send a photo and we will tell you if it is realistic.
- Will a transplanted tree survive?
- Often, with the right season, a big enough root ball and serious watering afterwards. We will be honest about the odds first.
