Tree Transplantation & Shifting

Road widening, campus expansion and construction projects in India increasingly have to relocate mature trees rather than fell them. Srivena carries out tree shifting with root-ball preparation, mechanical lifting and a defined aftercare period, which is what decides whether the tree survives.

Scope of work

  • Survey, root-ball preparation, excavation and lifting
  • Transportation, transplantation, staking and irrigation
  • After-care programmes and survival monitoring
  • Cranes, hydras, excavators, trailers and tree spades deployed on site

How a transplant is done

Survival depends far more on preparation and aftercare than on the day of lifting.

  • Assessment of species, girth, canopy, health and root spread
  • Advance root pruning and hardening where the schedule allows
  • Canopy pruning to reduce transpiration load
  • Root ball preparation, wrapping and mechanical lifting with cranes
  • Pit preparation, planting, staking and anti-transpirant treatment
  • Scheduled irrigation, nutrition and monitoring through the establishment period

Permissions

Tree cutting and translocation require permission from the local tree authority or municipal or forest department under applicable State tree preservation law. We prepare the technical documents; the permission is obtained by or on behalf of the project owner.

Frequently asked questions

Do transplanted trees survive?
Many do when the species is suitable, preparation is adequate and aftercare is genuinely carried out for the full establishment period. Species, age, season and post-transplant irrigation decide the outcome; no contractor can honestly promise universal survival.
What is the best season to shift a tree?
Generally the dormant or cooler period before the onset of new flush, avoiding peak summer stress and waterlogged monsoon conditions. The right window varies by species and region.
Do you handle the permissions?
We prepare the technical assessment and documentation required by the tree authority. The application is made by the project owner or by us on their written authorisation.
