Tree Transplanting Services

What’s the cost to transplant a tree, big or small?

There’s no universal cost for tree transplanting service. There are several factors that go into pricing a tree transplant, like:

• Size of the tree
• Time
• Crew and equipment
• Old and new location (how difficult it is to reach)

Transplanting is a complex and often risky process, so you want to be sure you’re putting the work in the hands of a professionally trained arborist.

When is the best time to transplant trees?

The best time to transplant Pine, Oak, Maple, or Fruit Trees is when they are dormant in spring or fall.

Here’s a breakdown of the best times:

• Pine or evergreen trees? Early fall.
• Oak trees? Early spring. February or March is an ideal time or right before spring budding in your area.
• Maple trees? Late fall, just as the canopy becomes bare.
• Fruit trees? Early spring before the growing season starts.

The general time to uproot your tree is really determined by your tree species and region.
