Most people think a new tree means waiting ten years for shade. That's not how this works.
This is a properly sourced, root-balled tree going in the ground with the right equipment, not a five-gallon sapling from a big-box store.
Here's what most homeowners don't know about sourcing a real tree (save this):
🌳 The root ball has to match the trunk. The industry standard is 10 to 12 inches of root ball per inch of trunk diameter. Too small and the tree won't survive the move.
🌳 Size and weight matter more than people expect. A tree like this needs real equipment to lift and place it without damaging the root system, not a shovel and a truck bed.
🌳 Removing the old tree is only half the job. Sourcing and installing the right replacement is what actually finishes it.
🌳 Late summer in South Florida is a good window for new plantings. The rain does most of the watering for you while the roots establish.
If you're removing a problem tree or just ready to upgrade your property, we handle both ends: removal and replacement, not just one or the other.
