Tree Spade Services

Whitener Landscaping is one of the only companies in the southeastern Tennessee Regions to offer Tree Spading.

Tree spading is a common method for moving and transplanting large trees from one site to another. The following are some reasons for transplanting large trees vs. younger, smaller trees are:

• To prevent the loss of a tree due to building, road expansion or other construction;
• To create space for a new building project or addition;
• A particular mature tree has outgrown its present location and needs to be relocated;
• To alter the design of a preexisting landscape;
• To move the tree to a more suitable site.
• To create a mature landscape quickly.

Initially, transplanting a tree with a tree spade may be more costly than purchasing container stock or B&B trees. However, the tree spade may be the best option if a tree will otherwise be lost or if the value of the tree outweighs the moving costs. Spading is also saves labor, planting time and years of maintenance of the juvenile tree. Spading also eliminates the possible risk of mower damage that commonly occurs on younger, smaller trees.
