Typically ₹17-24K Per Tree (estimate) #### **Execution Process** * **Canopy Reduction:** Manual or chainsaw pruning (30-40% of branches) to reduce stress on the tree during the move. * **Root Ball Prep:** Excavating a 3-4ft diameter trench and wrapping the root ball in hessian cloth and jute rope (sutli). * **Chemical Treatment:** Application of IBA rooting hormones and anti-fungal powders to minimize transplant shock. * **Lifting & Shifting:** Moving the tree to a new pit within 100 meters using an ACE/Hydra crane. #### **Machinery & Crew** * **Equipment:** Includes fuel and operator charges for a 12T-14T Mobile Crane and JCB Backhoe (where access allows). * **Manpower:** 6-person team including 1 supervisor and 5 diggers/riggers. * **Duration:** Approximately 1.5 to 2 days per tree. #### **Planting Material** * **Soil Mix:** Backfilling with existing soil mixed with 0.5 brass red soil and vermicompost. #### **Exclusions** * **Civil Works:** Does not include repair of walls, pavers, or fences dismantled for crane access. * **Debris:** Carting away large pruning waste off-site is not included. * **Permissions:** BMC/TMC Tree Authority permissions must be handled by the client. ### Off-Site Tree Translocation (With Transport) Relocates trees to a new address (20-30km radius) using a flatbed truck, including crane operations at both source and destination. Typically ₹29-42K Per Tree (estimate) #### **Logistics & Transport** * **Vehicle:** Includes open flatbed truck or dumper hire suitable for the tree length. * **Dual-Crane Ops:** Covers crane mobilization and operation charges at both the pickup location and the drop-off location. * **Secure Transit:** Horizontal loading with trunk cushioning and root ball moisture management during the drive. #### **Site & Soil Work** * **Anchoring:** Installation of bamboo supports or wooden logs at the new site to secure the tree against wind. * **New Pit Filling:** Supply of fresh river soil and 50-100kg of cow dung manure for the new location. * **Tracking:** Numbering/Tagging of trees (paint on trunk) for inventory if moving multiple units. #### **Client Responsibilities** * **Transit Permits:** Transit passes from the Forest Department or Tree Authority are mandatory and must be procured by the client. * **Access:** Ensuring road width at both sites is sufficient for a flatbed truck and crane entry. ## About Large-Scale Tree Transplanting ### Big Trees, New Beginnings We believe every big tree deserves a second chance. Instead of cutting down mature trees for construction or landscaping, we relocate them - giving them a new home and keeping your space green. It’s not just about shifting a lump of wood and leaves. Every tree we move is a story, and honestly, sometimes the work gets tough, but seeing an old tree thrive again makes it worth it. ### Why Move Mature Trees? - Instant natural shade and beauty (not waiting 20 years for a sapling to grow) - Keeps the local ecosystem intact - Shows you care about sustainable development ### How We Relocate Trees - First, we check the health, species, and size of the tree. Planning is everything, especially for mature tree relocation. - Pruning the branches helps cut down weight and eases the move. - Uprooting is tricky - we dig carefully to keep the root ball whole, because that’s what keeps the tree alive. - Cranes come in for the heavy lifting - crane-assisted tree moving is no joke. - New site gets prepped with good soil and support. - We settle the tree in, making sure it’s steady for the future. ### What We Bring - Heavy-duty machines (cranes, dump trucks, the works) - Our own crew - these folks know their stuff, and I’m always there on-site with them - Experience handling big jobs, like transplanting heritage trees at Mumbai airport ### Is This for You? If you’re a builder, developer, or planning a landscape overhaul in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, or Thane, and you want to save those old trees, this service fits right in. Nature ko bachane ka (gotta save nature), not bulldoze it. ## Highlights Browse through Greenkam's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/greenkam.in/large-scale-tree-transplanting/featured) - [Video: This video captures a significant moment from our tree transplanting project at the Mumbai airport.
