First day of digging large Magnolia
27 Mar
Today we started the first day of the digging season. A large Magnolia in west Oakville is being moved. Presently, it is planted in the precise spot the new sitting room of the new house is going to be built. It will be moved further down in the backyard so that it may be admired from the enlarged home to be. Trees that flower are without doubt, the major part of our digging along with Japanese Maples and Beech trees that are colourful.
Digging trees that are in excess of a 10″ – 12″ caliper is a three day process. Our success rate is between 90 to 95%. Unlike machine digging, we can go where equipment is unable to and dig trees well beyond any equipment’s capacity to move. When a problem is unearthed while digging, we access the situation and decide whether not to abort the dig. This saves unnecessary costs or disappointments with the outcome.
Send us a picture of trees that are part of your life and home. If it is too close to to the house or in the way of expansion, we would be happy to give you a professional opinion on whether or not the tree is worth the investment to move. Sometimes replacing the tree is cheaper rather than wrestling with digging conditions or damage and disease that makes the decision a bad investment.
The outside surroundings of your home or building are the first impression. First time impressions are a one time opportunity.
