Tree Transplanting Cost For Big & Small Trees

Tree transplanting costs vary based on the tree and your property, which is why an on-site evaluation is needed for an accurate estimate.

Arborists consider factors such as tree size, time, crew and equipment requirements, and the conditions of both the current and new planting locations.

Because transplanting is a complex process, working with a professional helps ensure your tree is moved correctly and can thrive in its new home.

How Do Trees Recover from Transplant Shock

Even with proper planting, new trees in Southern Vermont can take time to adjust. This transition period—known as transplant shock—is common and may cause leaf drop, faded color, or slowed growth, especially after temperature swings or seasonal weather changes.

Recovery tips for Southern Vermont trees:

  • Water deeply about once a week, adjusting for rainfall
  • Mulch properly to protect roots, keeping mulch several inches away from the trunk
  • Make sure the planting hole was correctly sized for the root ball
  • Be patient—full recovery can take a year or more in Northern climates

With consistent care and time, newly planted trees can recover from transplant shock and become a healthy, long-lasting part of your Southern Vermont landscape.
