When a tree is in the wrong location on a property, removal isn't always the only option. For the right tree in the right conditions, transplanting is a viable path that preserves years of established growth.
The best transplant candidates are generally smaller trees with trunk diameters under about four inches, healthy specimens with lateral rather than deep tap root systems, and trees that are being moved during the appropriate season, typically spring or fall in the Treasure Valley. Species characteristics, overall health, and what the new planting site can offer all factor into whether a transplant will succeed.
ArborSafe handles the full process: root pruning, careful excavation, soil preparation at the new location, and an aftercare plan through the first growing season. The post-move period is where transplants succeed or fail, and our team stays involved through that critical window.
If you have a tree you'd like to relocate rather than remove, schedule a consultation to talk through whether transplanting is the right approach for your situation.
