relocate suly lant relocate Relocate Civic Trees has develoed industry leading techniques for lifting trees, transorting them to a new location and successfully relanting them. We are equied to gain access to almost any site. Common reasons for tree moving include: threat from develoment thinning and redistribution of existing stock meeting lanning obligations to retain tree stock retaining a memorial or rare tree. Relocating existing trees is an efficient and effective way of redeloying stock and can create immediate visual imact in landscae rojects Tree moving can be used to great effect on develoment sites where, in their existing location, trees inhibit rogress. In some cases, even trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order can be relocated, subject to local authority aroval. When couled with lanned relanting of semi mature trees after develoment, relocation can achieve a lanning gain for the benefit of both the community and the develoer. Relocation is of articular use on country estates and golf courses, where young tree lantations are abundant. Thinning young tree stocks to decrease lanting density encourages stronger, fuller growth of those trees that remain as well as roviding new lants for use elsewhere around the site. Tree Sades Tree sades are the most common way of lifting, transorting and relanting semi mature trees. The develoment of this equiment in the mid 1960s was the greatest mechanisation in the industry as it reduced the time needed to reare and lift trees. Civic Trees introduced the first Vermeer tree sade into Euroe in 1968 and today we have the most comrehensive fleet of tractor-mounted tree sades in the UK. This means that we can move almost any semi mature secimen. Tree sades are normally referred to by the diameter of the rootball which they can lift out of the ground, for examle a 1.1m tree sade means that the rootball will have a diameter of 1.1m. At 2.1m, Civic Trees oerates the largest tractor-mounted tree sade in the UK. Civic Trees oerates the largest tractor-mounted tree sade in the UK, caable of moving trees with a girth of u to 90cm and a rootball diameter of 2.1m Newman Frame For situations where the use of tree sades is not ractical, such as moving trees with a stem circumference over 90cm or on sites with limited access, Civic Trees develoed the Newman Frame. This system contains a hand created rootball which can then be lifted and translanted by crane. Rootballs of u to 4.5m diameter can be created and adjusted to suit a wide variety of secimens. This besoke technology has been exorted around the globe and has roved itself in numerous countries under hugely diverse conditions. Newman Frame technology is the acceted way to achieve economy and quality when transorting large trees. Using the Newman Frame, we can move trees with a rootball of u to 4.5m diameter Relocate
