Professional Tree Transplanting in Houston

Move a Tree That Can Survive the Move

When a tree is in the way of work on a developed lot, cutting it down is not the only option. If the tree, the roots, and the new spot allow it, Axe Lawn Services transplants trees in Houston and resets them on the same property.

The company is firefighter-owned. The lift is done so the root ball and the surrounding yard both stay intact. A new tree, rather than a moved one, is tree planting. A tree that cannot be moved is tree removal.

What Clay Does to a Move

The root ball has to come out intact. The new hole has to drain. A clay pit that holds water drowns the tree at the next rain.

• Root ball: The tree is dug so the roots that matter stay in the ball.
• The new spot: Light and soil volume have to fit that species. A wet corner is not a home for a tree that wanted the dry side of the house.
• The hole: Clay in the new hole is opened and amended so water can leave it.
