Services
Tree Relocation
We specialize in relocating mature trees using 65 and 90 spades, capable of moving deciduous trees up to 12 inches and evergreens up to 14 inches in diameter. Our process ensures minimal root disturbance and optimal replanting conditions. Clients receive site assessments and personalized plans for successful tree transplantation.
Deep Root Fertilizing
Our mycorrhizal fungi injections restore natural soil ecosystems disrupted during transplantation. This treatment enhances nutrient absorption and root development, critical for newly planted trees. We combine this with slow-release fertilizers to promote long-term tree health and resilience.
Skid Steer Work
We clear brush and level terrain using skid steer equipment, preparing sites for tree planting or property maintenance. Our services include debris removal and soil preparation, ensuring safe and accessible landscapes for residential and commercial properties.
Anchoring Systems
We install 3- or 4-way anchoring systems to prevent wind damage and ensure proper tree alignment. This service includes durable cables and ground anchors, promoting stability during critical establishment periods after transplantation.
Bioplex Treatment
Bioplex applications support trees during stressful periods, such as transplantation in leaf stage. This treatment strengthens root systems and reduces transplant shock, improving survival rates for relocated trees in challenging conditions.
