"The appointment was made, but the no one showed up at the agreed upon time. After I called the contact number, the owner came right over and started the clean up and stated that his crew would be over in the afternoon to finish up.  He was very personable and seemed knowledgeable.  We went over my list of items to be taken care of, and he assured me that it was manageable in the time alottment that I had purchased.  The crew didn't show up that afternoon.  I spoke with the owner again that night, and he assured me that they would be there in the morning.  They weren't there in the morning.  They did show up the next day and did only a portion of the items on the list.  I contacted him one more time, and he stated that he would send them over to take care of the items that they didn't complete.  No one ever came back.  I was very disappointed with this service; however, it is possible that the "Big Deal" response was bigger than the owner anticipated, and he and his crew were unable to keep up with the demand.

FAQs for trees & shrubs treat, protect and maintain projects in Worthington, IN

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.
