Why Choose Tree Spade Transplanting?
Tree spade transplanting is faster, more efficient, and less disruptive than traditional planting methods. Our approach reduces installation time from days to hours, helping developers, contractors and landscape architects stay on schedule without compromising the health of the trees. Every tree is carefully lifted with its root ball intact, ensuring minimal stress and optimal survival.
Expertise You Can Trust
Ruskins has decades of horticultural experience and operates the UK’s largest fleet of tree spades. We can move specimens of almost any size, from young trees to mature, TPO-protected specimens. Our team has successfully delivered projects for some of the UK’s most prestigious horticultural organisations, including golf courses, residential developments and public spaces.

Comprehensive Project Management
Every project begins with a detailed assessment of the tree’s health, size and root structure. This allows our team to plan a safe, efficient, and effective transplant. Trees can be relocated directly to their new site, temporarily stored safely, or prepared for off-site replanting. Protective root ball encasement, careful transport and professional installation ensure trees arrive in optimal condition, maximising long-term survival and growth.
Environmental and Economic Benefits
Transplanting mature trees not only preserves the beauty and ecological value of your landscape, but also offers practical benefits for your project. Mature trees and hedges that would otherwise be lost due to construction can be saved, enhancing biodiversity and contributing to environmental sustainability. This approach aligns with modern planning regulations and demonstrates a commitment to creating high-quality, eco-conscious developments.
