Cost-effective, sustainable landscape enhancement
Tree moving is not only practical - it’s also highly sustainable and cost-efficient.
- Save up to 90% compared with the cost of sourcing and planting new mature trees
- Preserve existing landscape character and biodiversity
- Reduce carbon footprint by reusing established trees rather than replacing them
Whether enhancing a new development, reconfiguring a site layout, or protecting valuable landscape assets, tree transplanting provides measurable environmental and financial benefits.

Flexible tree relocation for development projects
Ruskins supports developers, local authorities and landscape professionals across the UK. Tree relocation can take place at any time of year, with appropriate planning and care.
We can:
- Relocate trees and hedges to create site access or increase plot size
- Move protected trees (subject to consent) safely within the same site or to approved off-site locations
- Provide temporary tree storage during construction phases, ensuring valuable assets are preserved and reinstated after completion
Our team provides initial feasibility advice and outline quotations over the phone, with final confirmation following a detailed site assessment.
