Our largest tree spade is a 2004 Big John Model 90D. This truck mounted tree spade enables up to haul up to 12" caliper trees sometimes as high as 30' tall. The size tree we can move depends on the species of the tree, time of year and irrigation availability after transplantation.

Our favorite time of year to move trees is in the winter when trees are dormant, but we've had great success moving them at all times of the year. The most popular trees installed with our truck spade are magnolias, oaks and maples. These big pieces will really help bring a landscape to life, and also provide that instant shade tree that so many of us hope to have for our house. When compared to trying to save trees during the construction of a new house our transplanted one survive much better.

Toms Creek grows a wide variety of large plant material for our tree spades to harvest and bring to your property. We also are strong believers in saving trees that would otherwise have to be destroyed, so if you're having to remove a significant tree that we think would transplant well we'd be interested in helping.

They say you can't take it with you, but often you can. If you're moving why not take your prized Japanese maple or other tree with you? We'd be happy to help.
