Process
Every project is unique and centers around ensuring the highest possible survival rate. Here is one example of a 24 foot cedar transplant. Click on the image to see it full size.
- First we tie up this 24-foot Cedar.
- Tying it up prevents branches from breaking or scarring
- Next we back our 90-inch tree spade onto the tree.
- Then the tree spade is closed around the tree and centered.
- Each blade of the tree spade digs deep into the ground.
- The tree has been dug and is secured within the spade.
- The tree is slowly tilted forward onto the truck.
- The tree is then tarped to prevent wind-burn.
- The tree is now ready to hit the road!
