FAQs
I have a tree in my yard I no longer want, will the you take it?
We can find a home for most any tree. City parks, golf course, churches and private residence etc are often willing to take donated trees. We keep a list of clients that are excited to give these "homeless trees" a good home.
The following are the qualities we look for in a tree that requires placement:
Size
Trees with trunk diameter of 16 inches or less.
Species
Typically Siberian elms, poplars, Russian Olives or shrubs are not desirable trees.
Condition
The tree must be disease free and in a Healthy growth state. The tree should be of natural shape . After assessing the condition, we should be assured that the tree would have at least a 80% chance of survival after relocation.
Accessibility
The tree must be accessible by our large mechanical tree spades. Our equipment is approximately the same size as a trash or concrete truck. Access must allow our equipment to back directly up the the tree and the location where the tree is to be planted.
How big of a tree can you move ... ?
Depending upon soils conditions, health, access and the species of the tree we typically can move trees up to 18 inches in diameter with our hydraulic transplanters. We have successfully moved trees up to 24" in diameter but prefer to stay in the 18 inch or less range.
Can you get your equipment into my yard to move my tree... ?
We must be able to back up to the tree in order to dig it or plant it. Our equipment is similar in size to that of a concrete or trash truck. The transplanters cannot reach over fences or around obstacles. Depending on the size of the transplanter necessary for the job we require any where from 9' to 14' width for access. We ask that if there is anything, i.e. asphalt, concrete, buildings, retaining walls, other trees etc less than 10 feet from the trunk of the tree in question that you measure it and let us know the distance.
I am not located in Colorado, will you still move my tree ?
Yes! We move trees across the United States and Canada. Cost is derived according to mileage and quantities of trees being transplanted.
