Tree transplanting

[Jake Andrews]

Hi guys. Just thought I'd share my week with you as we've been doing some pretty amazing transplants. The client we worked for wanted some trees moved too a specific place for public viewing and wanted a semi mature specimen for the 'now' effect and did not want too plant and see what the future holds. Apologies now as I'm on an iPad and can post one pic at a time so I guess it will be like a story. thanks for looking.

Here is the a tree which they wanted transplanted,as you can see its root system was fairly compact due too the roads on either side and it would have outgrew its place.

Here's a root cutter we used.

Then we finish off by hand.

Wrap the roots too try and avoid them drying out.

The great lift(note the asbestos water pipe underneath that were were not allowed to damage)

We then walked the tree too it's next home

And manoeuvred into position

 

Thanks for looking guys.i have pictures of another tree that we did but will post over the weekend,it was bigger and a lot harder to work with and I will keep you guessing.

 

Enjoy!
