"I hired Eli based on the recommendation of my neighbor who had done a lot of work with him on his properties. I have to say Eli is the best tree pro I have ever worked with. Not only was his price better than several other quotes for the same job (removal of a very large cedar tree), but he and his crew did a very professional job. We had wires/cables surrounding the large tree and they expertly removed the tree without harming the wires. Eli has a great attitude and you can tell that he has a tight crew who have been working together for a long time. I highly recommend Eli and he will be the first person I call whenever I need any tree work done."

"Excellent. Agreement for regular weekly lawn maintenance and garden care. Every Thursday Melvy attends to my yard, garden and landscape without my supervision, although whenever I ask for specific services, Melvy accommodates my request. My landscape looks great and I am completely pleased with Urizar Gardening services. Melvy is kind, helpful and efficient. Melvy at Urizar Gardening is the best! I anticipate continuing with Melvy indefinitely to maintain my lawn, yard, plants and trees."

"Melvin did our landscaping, including the design, selection, and installation. Our original backyard was multi-tiered and not landscaped at all - most of the surface area was dirt that could not be planted. Urizar Landscaping as a team did an incredible job, not only clearing all the space and preparing the soil, but hand selecting plants (over 150) for the different areas of the yard, putting in a new lawn and building three raised garden beds in our backyard. We have continued to use them a few times a month for maintenance and replanting for the season."

"Jose was a pleasure to work with. I needed an area of my backyard redone due to my cat using it as his litter box. Jose came on short notice and cleaned up my old rocks and placed new bigger rocks and planted some plants and gave it a new fresh look. I gave him a picture of what I wanted it to look like and he exceeded my expectation and was able to replicate it."

FAQs for trees & shrubs treat, protect and maintain projects in Albany, CA

The optimal transplanting season depends on your tree species, but most trees respond best when moved during dormancy. For deciduous trees, late fall after leaf drop or early spring before bud break provides the lowest stress periods. Evergreens transplant better in early fall or late summer when soil temperatures remain warm enough for some root growth. Avoiding transplanting during active growth periods helps trees direct energy toward establishing new roots rather than supporting foliage.

While technically, trees of any size can be transplanted with the right equipment and expertise, practical considerations limit what's reasonable for most homeowners. Trees with trunk diameters under 15 inches are most commonly transplanted in residential settings. Success rates decline as trees increase in size and age, with specimens over 24 inches in diameter presenting significant challenges and costs. For large trees, carefully weigh the substantial investment against the potential benefits and survival probability.

Most transplanted trees require one to two years to fully establish in their new location, with larger specimens often needing additional time. During this establishment period, the tree regenerates roots that were inevitably lost during the move. Signs of successful establishment include normal seasonal growth patterns, healthy leaf development, and reduced dependence on supplemental watering. The quality of aftercare during this critical period significantly influences long-term survival rates.

Self-transplanting is feasible for small trees with trunk diameters under two to three inches if you have proper tools and follow correct techniques. However, medium to large trees require professional expertise and specialized equipment to ensure tree survival and property protection. While professional services cost more initially, they achieve much higher success rates and prevent potential damage to your property or the tree itself. The investment in professional services often proves worthwhile when considering the value of mature trees.
