A few years ago you planted a little tree. Now you see it is too close to the house, under the wires, or in the way of a new garage. You do not want to cut it down. Toms Tree Services offers tree transplantation in Marquette for young trees and saplings, moving them to a spot where they can grow.
When Do You Need Tree Transplantation?
Transplanting works best for young, small trees and saplings. Their root systems are small enough to dig up with a good root ball and replant.
Common reasons to move a young tree: it is too close to a building, under power lines, over a septic field or buried lines, or in the path of a new project. Some trees are just in too much shade or too wet a spot.
Do not wait too long. Each year a tree grows, its roots spread wider and moving it gets harder. Past a certain size, moving a tree is not a good choice. We do not move large trees.
In the U.P., the best times to transplant are early spring before leaves open and fall after they drop. Wet spring ground can limit access, and our short summer season makes fall a common choice.
If a tree is too big to move, we can talk about other choices, like trimming it or planting a new young tree in the better spot.
We transplant young trees for homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and across Marquette County.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
It starts with you. Call 906-236-9567 or send the form with your name, phone number and address. Lucas will call you back to set a time to look at your young tree.
Then we come out and look. We look at the tree's size and health to see if it is a good fit to move. We help you pick the new spot and check for buried lines. Then we dig the new hole first, dig around the tree to keep as much root as we can, move it, set it at the right depth, and water it in.
After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure. You can start with part of the plan or all of it. If you go ahead, we set up the work with you and clean up when we finish.
How Much Does Tree Transplantation Cost?
The cost depends on the tree's size, how far it is going, the soil, and access to both spots. Rocky ground or tight spaces take more work. Distance, the gear needed, and cleanup also matter.
The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee. When we give you the estimate, we go over what it covers and how to care for the tree after the move.
