Planting and Transplanting

When it comes to planting or transplanting trees and shrubs, it’s not as simple as digging a hole and filling it with a plant. There are all kinds of things to consider such as the shape of the hole to suit firmer ground, the variety of the tree or shrub and even the selection of the tree or shrub itself. Not all varieties suit all locations. Even in a country as small as New Zealand, the climate can vary dramatically, especially in winter. Plants and trees that do well in the North Island might not in Canterbury.

Our arborists excel in identifying tree and shrub species, understanding their needs and interpreting yours. Whether you need to replace or transplant one specimen or get an entire plantation of seedlings in the ground, you can trust our team to do the job well, no matter how big or small. And our well-maintained, environmentally friendly treespade machine can make short work of those larger-scale jobs.

We can source trees and plants in bulk, provide instructions for their care and take care of their ongoing maintenance with our pruning, trimming and shaping services. To ensure the best outcome transplanting your favourite trees, we recommend you contact us in the cooler months around June through to August.
