Services
At Artistree, we specialise in the planting and transplantation of large and mature trees within complex residential, commercial and government-managed landscapes. These operations require precise planning, specialist equipment and a deep understanding to ensure long-term establishment, not just short-term survival.
Transplanting Mature Trees
Transplanting mature trees is a high-risk process that demands careful assessment and execution. Our qualified arborists evaluate tree health, structural condition, species suitability, root architecture, soil profiles and site constraints before determining transplant feasibility. This ensures only viable trees are relocated and that risk is managed at every stage of the process.
Large & Mature Tree Transplantation
Each transplant is approached as a controlled operation. Root ball dimensions are carefully calculated and prepared to preserve critical root mass, soil structure and ongoing root development. Timing is planned around seasonal conditions and environmental stress factors to maximise establishment success.
Using equipment specifically designed for handling large trees, we manage lifting, transport and installation with minimal disturbance to the tree and surrounding assets. All works are completed in accordance with best-practice arboricultural standards to protect tree health.
Successful planting begins below ground. We prepare receiving sites with appropriate soil conditioning, organic matter, irrigation considerations and stabilisation systems to support long-term growth. Correct depth and orientation are ensured for structural stability and healthy development. Our responsibility extends beyond installation. Artistree focuses on correct establishment principles that reduce transplant shock, promote root regeneration and support the tree’s long-term performance within the landscape.

Artistree’s planting and transplanting services are trusted across high-compliance environments. Our experience with large trees, combined with rigorous planning and execution, ensures transplanted trees continue to provide environmental, aesthetic and asset value for decades to come.
Aftercare
Tree transplantation does not end when the tree is repositioned. The critical phase is establishment, where root regeneration, moisture balance, and canopy response determine long-term survival. Our approach includes structured post-transplant monitoring, irrigation management, soil conditioning, and canopy pruning where required. Each tree is assessed over time to ensure root function is recovering as expected and that stress responses are identified. This focus on establishment significantly increases transplant success and protects the investment made in mature trees.
Artistree applies advanced transplant methodology for large and high-value trees where establishment success is critical. The approach adapts to site conditions, tree response and soil behaviour before, during and after relocation, rather than relying on generic specifications. This methodology is focused on reducing transplant stress, supporting root recovery, and achieving long-term establishment outcomes rather than short-term completion.
