Moving Trees

After consulting with the Lexington County Arborist and two tree moving companies, the partners of the SummerLake subdivision have decided to move trees. The types of trees being moved are: Elms, Dogwoods, Blackgum and Willow Oaks. During the summer months no trees large than eight inches in diameter can be moved.

This four-step process will last about four weeks. The first step was to choose the trees to be moved. That was done last week. The second step is to choose the places where the trees will be relocated. The third step is to water the trees for at least four days to be sure the root system is well hydrated. The final step is to move the trees! Between twenty to thirty trees will be moved in three days.

If all goes well during this move, plans will be made to move larger trees in the fall. Come by and check out the changes happening in SummerLake!
