About us
Tree Movers, Inc. was established in 1999 when a few acres of jack pines were in the way of new building construction.
None of us could bear to see them cut down, so our first spade was purchased and over 600 of the trees were moved.
We are a family run business consisting of two farmers and a veteran. With an ongoing love of trees and aspirations of improving Minnesota landscapes, we are here to serve you.
Tree Care
Watering
Be sure to give transplanted trees plenty of water for at least the first one to two years, especially during the hot, dry season.
Pruning
After a move it is recommended to prune up to 20% of the trees branches. On a pine or spruce, just cutting the bottom row is usually enough. On small trees where there are no damaged roots, pruning is not necessary.
Staking
-
It is best to use three stakes 120° apart
-
Thread each rope through a piece of old garden hose or similar item as long as needed to protect the tree
-
Then, loop the rope around the tree (preferably above a branch)
-
Tie the ends of the rope together around the base of the stake.
