Do you have a major landscaping project coming up where you will be moving multiple trees from one spot of your farm or residential property to another? Do you have multiple large shrubs or other landscaping that would be difficult, too heavy, or too awkward to move by hand? If so, you might want to invest in one or more tree spades for sale before you begin your project. Here's what a tree spade does and how it can make your next project safer and more efficient from start to finish.

A Tree Spade is Equipment That Can Pick Up a Tree or Other Large or Heavy Form of Greenery So You Don't Have To

If you were going to try and move even one small tree by hand, you would have to spend time digging down to the roots, pull the tree up by the roots while trying your best not to damage it, and then you'd have to hope you and anyone helping you can avoid tripping or otherwise taking a spill as you move this possibly heavy or awkward object to a new location.

That doesn't sound very fun, does it? And that's just the first tree. With a tree spade, you can dig down to the roots, lift the entire tree or another form of greenery up out of the ground and then calmly move it using the machine to the new spot, where you can then gently set it back down into the soil. If you have multiple trees or shrubberies to move, a tree spade will clearly be worth the investment.

Keep Yourself Safe and Prevent Damage to Your Trees and Shrubbery

If you do intend to move trees or shrubbery by hand, you are going to have more than just a possible tripping hazard to worry about in some cases. Unless you tightly tie up every branch, it's likely that a few branches may your face at some point as you try to move it. That giant shrubbery you are moving could have a bee's nest buried deep inside it that you don't know about until it's too late. With a tree spade, you can pick up your shrubbery and trees from a distance and then calmly move them using the equipment with no potential harm coming to you or another person. The tree spade will securely hold the tree or shrubs as well and make sure it goes back into the ground correctly. You don't want to lug a tree all the way across the yard, only to accidentally damage the roots as you try to put it back into the ground.

Investing in one or more tree spades will speed things up during your next landscaping project or at the very least will save you from some back pain or other hassles that could come by lifting trees and large shrubs by hand.
