5 Reasons Why Moving Trees Beats Cutting Them Down

At Swantech Industries, we believe trees are more than just scenery—they’re assets that enhance your property and the environment. Instead of cutting them down, relocating trees with our Kompact Tree Spade offers a smarter solution. Here are five reasons why moving trees beats removing them, and how our innovative tool makes it possible.

1. Environmental Impact: Trees absorb carbon, produce oxygen, and support biodiversity. Relocating mature trees preserves these benefits, reducing your ecological footprint compared to cutting them down and waiting decades for new saplings to mature.

2. Aesthetic Appeal: Mature trees add instant beauty and character to any landscape. Moving them to strategic spots, like creating a privacy screen or enhancing a yard, boosts curb appeal and creates a polished look that new plantings can’t match.

3. Cost Savings: Hiring a crew to remove trees or planting new ones is expensive. The Kompact Tree Spade allows you to relocate 30-50 trees before breaking even compared to service fees ($150-300/tree). It works with your existing mini skid steer or compact tractor, eliminating costly rentals.

4. Property Value: Mature trees can increase property value by up to 15%. Relocating them during construction or redesigns preserves this value, unlike removal, which diminishes your landscape’s worth and appeal.

5. Sustainability: Moving trees supports sustainable land management. Our Kompact Tree Spade’s four sharp, tempered steel blades ensure clean root ball extraction, minimizing transplant shock and promoting tree survival, so you can maintain healthy ecosystems.

Real-World Impact: An acreage owner, using our 26” Kompact Tree Spade, relocated over 50 trees in a weekend, saving thousands compared to hiring a service. “The spade was easy to use”, he shared.

The Kompact Tree Spade makes tree relocation fast (under 5 minutes per tree), affordable, and eco-friendly. Ready to save your trees? Visit www.swantechindustries.ca or call 519-871-7958 to request a quote today!
