Tree & Palm Transplanting across the Rio Grande Valley

Moving established trees and palms from one spot to another using equipment sized for the root ball, whether they're being relocated on the same property or moved to a new one.

Based in Edinburg, we take this work throughout the Valley — McAllen, Mission, Pharr, Weslaco, Harlingen and Brownsville included.

Tree & Palm Transplanting project

What is tree & palm transplanting?

Transplanting means digging a tree or palm with enough of its root ball intact, lifting it, and setting it into a prepared hole at the new location.

Do I need it?

If a mature tree or palm is in the way of construction, too close to a structure, or you simply want it somewhere else, moving it is often possible.

Signs you may need this

  • A mature tree or palm sitting where you need to build
  • Palms you want relocated across a property
  • Trees crowding a structure, driveway or fence line

How our process works

  1. 01

    Tell us about the tree

    Type, rough height and trunk size, plus photos.

  2. 02

    We look at both spots

    Where it is now and where it's going.

  3. 03

    Prepare the new hole

    Dug and ready before the tree comes out.

  4. 04

    Dig, move, replant

    Lifted with the root ball and set into place.

What determines cost?

We don't publish prices we can't stand behind. These are the things that move the number:

  • Size and type of the tree or palm
  • Root ball size required
  • Access at both locations
  • Distance being moved
  • Ground conditions at both ends

Before we arrive

  • Mark exactly where the tree is going
  • Clear access between both locations
  • Point out buried lines and irrigation at both ends

Common questions

Tree & Palm Transplanting FAQ

Will the tree survive being moved?
We can't promise that — survival depends on the species, the season, the root ball and the aftercare. We'll tell you honestly how a particular tree looks before we start.
How big a tree can you move?
Send a photo with something for scale and we'll tell you whether we have the equipment for it.
