Moving BIG trees in Farmington, Utah
Last week Willow Creek Tree Farms had the opportunity to help out Oak Ridge Golf Course. They have some beautiful Colorado Blue Spruce and Austrian Pine trees that are about 18 to 25 feet tall. Willow Creek Tree Farms has special equipment that enables us to move trees this size, and even larger, safely.
We had some fun in our February sunshine picking up the tree “plug” — driving it across the course while it was still in the spade — then putting it down in its new hole that had been pre-dug. Big trees like these needs to be uprooted, moved, and transplanted in one operation with the tree fixed in the spade. If it is removed from the spade, a wire basket for the root ball is needed. For trees of this size, the cost can be around prohibitive — about $500 for a temporary basket!
So for that tall tree that is casting too much shade across the garden — or bothering your neighbor’s fence — don’t cut it down. We can move trees up to 35 feet tall, so call Willow Creek Tree Farms to move it for you! 844-300-TREE
