Craning a 10,000 pound tree 😱

Normally we’d use a smaller crane. But with no side access and Lake Bonavista behind the house, that wasn’t an option.

Here’s how it all went down.

This tree is in dormancy at this time of the year, the perfect time to transplant. Come spring, it will wake up and get established like nothing happened. With the proper care, it will settle in nicely and provide instant atmosphere for this beautiful yard.

We’re excited to share more from this planting project.

Just how high does that crane go??

You’re not going to want to miss this planting job. We’ll be following this project with several videos, explaining different aspects of the process—why did we need to use a crane this big, how do you properly weight a crane of this size, and how can we ensure a tree of this size has a successful transplant?

Stay tuned 👀

Why do newly planted trees struggle?

Our team’s been working hard to get everything done during the busy fall season, shipping, digging, pruning, the list goes one.

Fall is the perfect time to plant. Get your plant material in before winter and wake up to a ready-to-go yard next spring!
