Plants occasionally need to be transplanted. Moving a plant from one place to another becomes challenging because we can only see what’s above ground. Strong plants will dig deep and wide into the ground with their powerful roots.

Cutting a plant’s roots improperly can lead to a sick and even dead plant. This is why it’s so important not only to carefully move the plant from one place to another, but also to have a crew remove the tree skillfully.

One method we use to successfully move a tree is root pruning. Root pruning in South Florida can be challenging because plants tend to grow very strong roots due to our tropical and sunny climate.

Root pruning involves slicing a tree’s roots at the drip line. This is particularly important because it allows the tree to once more develop its feeder lines in a healthy and natural way. This process also drastically increases the probability that the tree will adjust to its new location and grow strong and beautiful.

As any professional could tell you, transplanting would be done with the utmost care and concern to ensure the plant arrives safely and is replanted properly.
