Relocating Mature Trees
We can move trees! We have the expertise and specialised equipment to transplant large trees. We undertake tree moving on a regular basis for private and commercial organisations throughout the UK.
Tree Transplanting Service
We specialise in moving medium sized trees 30-50cm girth for parks, private estates and landowners, golf and sports clubs. This service is also invaluable for Landscape Contractors, as it enable them to extend their own range of capabilities.

Why Use A Specialist To Move Trees?
As a specialist tree moving company, we have the right experience, expertise and machinery. Our purpose-built tree spade machines are designed to efficiently hold the tree rootball together during the transplanting process, which is vital for successful tree relocation.
Why is Tree Transplanting in demand?
We have seen an increased demand for moving trees recently. There may be a number of reasons why trees may need to be moved, including:
- The increased restrictions on importing particular tree species from Europe, due to stricter pest and disease controls
- Economic impact of Brexit and Covid-induced lockdown, with increased tree purchase, higher transport and labour costs
- Limited availability from UK nurseries, due to increased demand for home grown trees
- Increased desire to plant more trees to capture carbon and to repurpose tree plantations that need thinning out
- Increased demand for carbon reduction, meaning that it is more ethical to move trees a few hundred metres rather than hundreds of miles
