Large Trees

With over 50 years of experience, we’ve been transplanting trees since the late 60s, proudly serving as a second-generation team. Armed with large and small tree spades, we bring generations of knowledge to every project.

Our range of services includes affordably priced, mature specimen native trees, carefully delivered and planted to minimize transplant shock. Whether you’re looking to integrate new trees into your landscape design or relocate existing ones, we’ve got you covered.

Choose from a variety of tree types including:

Ponderosa Pine, Jeffrey Pine, Incense Cedar, White Fir, and other locally grown species as they become available.

Preserving Nature's Beauty

Our trees stand tall, ranging from 18 to 25 feet, and our specialized tree spade easily handles digging and transplanting. If you need on-site relocation or across-town transport, we also salvage trees from new developments. Don’t let that magnificent tree meet the axe—reach out to us, and we’ll rescue and transplant it for others to relish!

Locally Sourced Bounty: Harvested from areas mirroring Reno’s climate conditions (zone, elevation, soil, etc.), our trees thrive in their new homes. By opting for local sourcing, we ensure optimal conditions for the transplanted tree’s growth and blossoming beauty.

Proper Tree Care for Large Transplanted Trees

Initially, water every other day for the first two weeks, then transition to watering every 2-3 days at 40 gallons per day. Place emitters at the edge of the tree ball to ensure full 360-degree coverage.

It’s essential to schedule annual Bark Beetle protection treatments in early spring to maintain the health of your new trees.

Avoid covering the top of the tree ball with materials like rock, sod, or DG (decomposed granite). Instead, opt for native mulch such as shredded bark or pine needles, applied a few inches deep.

For Bark Beetle spraying or trunk injection services, please contact a trusted local tree care specialist.
