Mechanical Transplanting of Eastern Redcedar with Tree Spades

Vermeer Tree Spades for High-Volume Cedar Relocation

For 70 eastern redcedars (70 inches tall), hire a Vermeer tree spade contractor (vermeerag.findlocation.com). Best move time: February-March (after freeze, before spring). Spades handle taproots, ensure proper root balls, faster than hand-digging. Contact Lexington-area dealers for quotes.
