OUR TREE-RELOCATION HISTORYEXPERIENCE BUILT
EXPERIENCE BUILT
IN THE FIELD.
Tree relocation is an important chapter in the Hess story. Our experience developed through hands-on work with mature trees—from preparing and boxing root systems to coordinating heavy equipment, cranes and transport. Each stage required attention to both the tree and the conditions around it.
The work brought together field crews, equipment operators and project teams. Tight access, substantial root balls, overhead clearances and changing site conditions made planning and communication essential. These photographs show different parts of that experience: preparation, supported handling, loading and movement through the site.
That history remains part of our background. Today, Hess Tree Company supplies specimen trees and palms and can provide independent relocation contractor contacts upon request.
