Tree Relocation
Professional Tree Relocation That Protects Your Landscape Investment
At General Tree Service, we provide a specialized solution that saves your trees and your landscape’s character. As the home of the largest tree spade in the Central Valley, we have the unique capability to transplant large, mature trees that others cannot touch. Our goal is simple: leverage decades of arboriculture expertise to relocate your trees successfully, minimizing shock and ensuring they thrive in their new location.
Why Professional Tree Relocation Is Worth the Investment
Preserve Maturity
There is no substitute for time. Relocating an existing tree allows you to keep the grand stature, extensive shade, and established look of a mature canopy, avoiding the "start-over" look of planting young saplings.
Instant Landscape Impact
Whether you are developing a new commercial site or redesigning a backyard, moving in mature trees provides immediate results. You get instant privacy, windbreaks, and visual appeal without waiting twenty years for growth.
Save Valuable Trees
Construction often threatens healthy trees. Instead of cutting them down, relocation allows you to move them out of the footprint of a new building or driveway, preserving the tree’s life and your property’s ecological balance.
Boost Property Value
Mature trees are a significant asset that increases curb appeal and real estate value. Relocating them to a more strategic position on your property can enhance visibility or frame a home better, maximizing that value.
Environmental Continuity
Large trees are vital for local air quality, carbon capture, and wildlife habitats. By choosing relocation over removal, you maintain the environmental benefits your property contributes to Kern County.
What Our Tree Relocation Service Can Handle
Mature Tree Transplanting
Using the Central Valley’s largest tree spade, we can lift and move large, established trees with a massive root ball intact. This specialized machinery is essential for the survival and stability of larger specimens.
Construction Site Relocation
When a new building, pool, or expansion is planned, trees often stand in the way. We relocate these trees to safe holding areas or permanent new spots on the site, allowing construction to proceed without unnecessary removal.
Landscape Redesign
Sometimes a tree is healthy but just planted in the wrong place: too close to a foundation or blocking a view. We can shift trees to locations where they have room to grow safely and contribute to the landscape design.
Nursery-to-Site Installation
Beyond moving your existing trees, we can transport and install fully mature trees (10-18 feet) from our own large tree nursery. This service is perfect for new properties needing an established look from day one.
Commercial Projects
We assist municipalities, golf courses, and commercial developers in moving multiple trees to line streets or shade parking areas. Our fleet and crew are scalable to handle high-volume relocation projects efficiently.
A Relocation Process Rooted in Science and Care
Our process combines brute strength with scientific care. We use our massive tree spade to extract the optimal root mass, ensuring the tree has the resources it needs to settle into its new home. Our team assesses soil conditions, preparation requirements, and watering needs before the move begins, ensuring the smoothest transition possible for your tree.
