If someone wishes to move a small tree from one home to another, hiring a tree service in Arlington is the best way to ensure it is done properly. Moving a tree can be risky if it is done at the wrong time of year. A tree service would know when the tree would be dormant, allowing it to be moved without the risk of it dying from shock. Here are some of the steps the tree service would take in making sure the tree is safely moved to its new location.
First the tree service will ask the homeowner to prepare the site for the tree to be placed in at the new home. This should be in an area with similar soil as the spot where the tree is present. The service may go to the new site to help determine what spot would be best for transplanting the tree. This should be an area away from other plants, so the tree does not need to compete for water. The homeowner would need to dig a hole for the tree. It should be filled with water the day before the move so the tree will have ample moisture when it is transplanted.
The tree service would come to the home and dig the tree out of the ground. They will take care in trying to keep as many roots intact during this process. The tree’s roots will be wrapped in wet pieces of cloth and transported right away to the new location. The cloth will help keep the roots from drying out during the ride. The service would place the tree in the hole at the new home. Afterward, they will place mulch around it’s base to help keep the ground moist, so the tree has plenty of nourishment as it gets used to its new environment.
