What happens here
The video features Environmental Design Tree Mover, a company specializing in moving giant, full-sized trees. The representative explains that they are the only company capable of moving such large trees. They highlight that many cities and states have ordinances preventing the cutting down of certain trees, making their service essential for development. The video shows examples of massive trees being moved, some requiring two semi-trailers, and the process involves taking down streetlights and wires along the route. Environmental Design, established in 1977 and based in Houston, Texas, has patented their technique and also offers custom grow, tree farming, and specimen tree supply and installation. They moved the 9/11 Memorial trees in New Jersey and even the famous 18th hole tree at Pebble Beach. The cost to move a typical tree of this size can range from $50,000 to $150,000 or more.
