3. Location for Moving
Once you have decided the time to remove the tree, the next step is to move it to a new location where it will be placed. The new location should have proper sun, shade, soil conditions, water requirements etc. that are necessary for the growth of the tree. Also, arrange such a place that is away from the wall, entry points, pathways etc. so your way is not obstructed.
4. Digging the Hole for Placing the Removed Tree
A new hole should be dug in the ground that is twice the size of the roos of the trees or the rootball. You can do this using the tools such as a shovel to remove the soil and pile up the soil on the side of the hole.
5. Dig Up to Remove the Tree
As you have found a new place and hole for placing the tree, it is time to remove the tree from the existing place. This process requires a lot of careful planning and handling to reduce any harm that may be caused to the roots or the stump. You need to place a tarp or the tarpaulin sheet near the tree. Begin digging the tree about 3 feet away from the trunk base while finding out how huge is the rootball or the presence of roots beneath the tree. The bigger trees require more care and effort as you need to prevent any harm to the tree and the roots. However, some roots need to be cut down in the process from the sides of the rootball. Now, once you can see the entire rootball, and then begin sliding the shovel under it so that the roots can be loosened a bit. And then firmly loosen the roots from the soil and lift it carefully to be placed on the tarp. This is a major task as lifting the tree sometimes requires machines that are available with the Ottawa Tree Service company.
6. Planting the Removed Tree
The tarp with the tree is taken to the other location where the hole is dug. The tree is gently slid into the new hole. Thereafter, the loose soil that is placed on the side needs to be put back in the hole using the shovel. The root ball is properly packed from all sides with the soil. Mound up the soil in order to create a round rim about a few inches away from the tree that can catch the water. Then place a layer of mulch or the dried leaves in the rim area.
7. Monitoring the Tree and its Maintenance
Keep monitoring the tree after placing it in the new hole. Provide the water regularly as desired. The roots will take some time to grow back to the new location. However, water is essential regularly to keep the soil moistened. In certain cases, the tree can take around a year to fully recover after moving.
