The urban area has been progressively growing over the years. Garden trends have followed along because most people still prefer having a lovely garden over being surrounded by concrete. It takes years to grow a tree or a palm tree, and sometimes there is just not enough time for waiting. That is when tree transplants come to the rescue.
In most cases, you will not be able to transplant a tree alone. Tree transplant includes a lot of digging and heavy lifting. Most trees have deep roots, so you might break your back with digging. Once the tree is removed from the ground, you need to carry it to a new location, and you will need a truck to do it. So the safest and easiest way to transplant trees is to hire a professional tree service.
Yes, palm trees can be transplanted. Transplanting them can sometimes be a bit easier than transplanting other trees because they have shallow roots. Still, you will need to do some digging and carrying, so the safest option is hiring a professional tree service.
The best time to transplant trees in Florida is autumn, before the temperatures start falling down, and late winter or early spring before they start putting out new leaves. This will give trees enough time to adapt to the new soil and surroundings before winter temperatures drop or before their new yearly cycle begins.
Palm trees are tropical plants and they are not fond of lower temperatures, so the best time to transplant is spring, after the temperatures have stabilized. Sometimes, you can even wait for the early summer to do it, because warmer temperatures will help palm trees accommodate to their new soil and environment.
In theory, you could transplant any tree, but in practice, you will have to mind a few factors. For example, some trees are big and their roots probably go too deep or too wide to dig, so it might be too difficult to transplant them. You might damage their roots while digging or you might break big branches during transportation.
In most cases, you can transplant big trees, but the process will be long and difficult. Because of their size, roots are probably bigger and denser than the canopy, so digging them up might be difficult and could cause significant damage. Transporting them to the new location might also be troublesome – you will need big machines and trucks to move them and then stabilize them once you reach the right place.
There are people who spend years growing beautiful trees in their gardens. But once they move away, trees usually get left behind. People want a final product in their garden, without waiting ages for it to grow and mature. With tree transplanting, this is no longer an issue. You get to bring your trees with you or get grown trees for your new garden.
Tree transplanting is a complicated procedure, which includes quite a few steps – digging up the tree from the old place, transportation, planting in the new place, and aftercare. You must take many factors into account, such as the condition of the tree, moisture and soil composition, root damage, etc. This requires knowledge, so you should always trust your tree transplants to professionals.

Since palm trees are one of the most frequently planted and transplanted trees in Florida, our transplanting service includes them as well.
Just like with hardwood trees, palm transplant requires good planning and preparation. For example, palm trees like warmer weather, so the best time to transplant them is in spring or early summer. Their roots are quite shallow but can be wide, so you need to assess where to actually dig. Preparing the hole is another task, as well as fertilizing the ground and tracking the accommodation process to make sure the palm tree feels good in the new place.
All of this is a complex procedure that requires knowledge and experience, so it is safer to hire professionals to do it. Our team transplants hardwood trees under 20 feet and transplants palm trees of all sizes. Contact us for a free estimate and let us transplant your trees and palms safely!
