Case studies

Trees nobody else would touch — moved, and kept alive

Tree transplantation is the work that sets us apart. These are real relocations, on real sites, with the species and ages recorded — heritage giants and campus-scale jobs of dozens of trees at a time.

The method

Six controlled stages, every time

The discipline that turns a risky move into a tree that re-leafs.

01

Assess

Survey the tree — species, age, health and the route out — and decide if it can be moved.

02

Prune

Crown-reduce and prepare the canopy so the tree can travel and recover with less stress.

03

Root-ball

Excavate around the roots and form a protected root-ball that keeps the critical roots intact.

04

Lift

Hydra cranes, JCBs and industrial machinery lift the tree clear without tearing the root-ball.

05

Transport

Move by trailer to the new location — across the city, the state or the country.

06

Re-establish

Re-plant, stake, irrigate and monitor. New leaves typically follow within weeks.

Selected relocations

From a 200-year banyan to campus-scale moves

The ~200-year heritage banyan — moved, and still alive

A grand bargad of roughly two centuries, root-balled, lifted with cranes and a JCB, transported by trailer and re-established at a new site. New leaves followed — and the relocation was covered in the local press as among the first of its scale in the region.

A ~150-year peepal, pruned, transported and re-leafed

Pruned for transit and moved through narrow city streets on a trailer marked Indore. Within about 30 days of transplantation, new leaves had initiated — the clearest possible sign the tree had taken to its new ground.
