"Roberto recommended the removal of an overgrown tree and root system that caused a large 3-4 foot crack in the front entrance walkway. The tree removal was included in his bid. Proper drainage lines installed to channel water run off away from the house. Beautiful new colored & stamped concrete was installed. His work ensured the new concrete would be at the same level as the existing backyard deck. His work exceeded my expectations."

"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."

"They were amazing. I love the work they did. They were very accommodating and I felt like I was working with cool family. I am too busy to figure out what I wanted and Fernando worked with me and gave me ideas until I was happy. He also figured out what was happening with my sprinkler system and helped me work it out. They were trustworthy and honest and just kind. I appreciate that so much. I definitely have stored their information and plan to use them again. They installed shrubbery in a small area where grass had just died due to drought."

We got a reasonable quote and were able to get someone to come the same day we requested the work to be done! Honest, friendly, knowledgeable hard working and very willing to share their knowledge.

FAQs for trees & shrubs treat, protect and maintain projects in Oakland, 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.
