TREE RELOCATION :

PRESERVING NATURE ’ S BEAUTY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Since 1963 , Civic Trees have been at the forefront of tree relocation throughout the UK , from importing the very first Vermeer tree spade into Europe , to designing and constructing the Newman Frame which is now used worldwide .
Civic Trees are always looking to pioneer new techniques that aid the relocation of trees .
Tree relocation is a concept that involves uprooting trees from one location and transplanting them to another . With current events surrounding environmental issues , relocating trees is even more important now than ever before . By relocating trees instead of cutting them down , we can preserve nature ’ s beauty while also promoting sustainability .
We are proud of our reputation for efficient , cost effective and reliable tree relocation throughout the UK . You can be confident that through our exemplary commitment to staff training and development , our work meets the highest technical and safety standards .
We believe that a tree is only as good as the way it is handled , planted and maintained . Ground preparation and aftercare are crucial to the successful establishment of the tree .
Before we start the tree move process we arrange a site visit with our client and assess the tree ’ s health , size , and root system . We also create a site specific risk assessment to ensure the whole operation is carried out safely .
Our team of experts use specialised equipment to excavate the tree with minimal damage to its root structure . The tree is then carefully transported to its new location , where it is replanted and nurtured to ensure its successful adaptation .
Our experienced team will know and understand the benefits and methods of loading and unloading a tree using the correct lifting techniques in order not to stress the tree or root ball . This is imperative for the longevity of the tree ’ s life .
In conclusion , tree relocation is an environmentally friendly method that allows us to preserve nature ’ s beauty while supporting urban growth . By carefully uprooting and relocating trees , we can maintain the valuable benefits they provide to our communities .
Civic Trees prides itself in paying great attention to the health and well being of our clients most prized asset “ THE TREE ”.
