We specialize in the relocation of mature trees.
Alfaro Trees specializes in the relocation of mature trees across San Antonio and South Texas. Moving an established tree requires careful planning, specialized equipment, and experienced handling to protect the root system, ensure safe transport, and give the tree the best chance of re-establishing at its new location.

Tree relocation makes sense when you have a healthy, established tree that you want to preserve rather than remove.
Common situations where relocation is the right call:
Not every tree is a good candidate for relocation. Factors like species, age, root health, size, and destination soil conditions all affect viability. That’s why every relocation project starts with an on-site assessment before we provide a proposal or pricing.
Fill out the form below or call (210) 202-4284. Our team will confirm a date and time for a site visit to examine the tree and assess relocation feasibility.
We visit the tree's current location to evaluate its health, root structure, size, and access conditions. We also assess the destination site for soil suitability, space, and planting conditions. After the visit, we provide an honest assessment of whether relocation is viable and what it will take.
We provide a detailed proposal with pricing based on the site visit. A non-refundable 50% deposit is required to schedule the service. We accept cash, check, or card (2.5% convenience fee applies to cards). The remaining balance is due before the crew leaves the job site.
We coordinate a service date that works for your schedule (homeowner sign-off required for property access). 5-10 days before the service, you'll receive a QuickSign Package for electronic signature covering the invoice, guarantee policy, utility policy, and aftercare recommendations. The day before, you'll receive the crew's target arrival time.
Our crew extracts the tree with a properly sized root ball, transports it to the destination, and re-plants it using the same professional technique we use for all installations – proper depth, soil backfill, staking, and initial watering.

The best windows for tree relocation in South Texas are late fall through early spring (November through March), when trees are dormant and stress is minimized. Avoid transplanting during peak summer heat.
Most trees take 1–2 growing seasons to fully re-establish after relocation. Proper watering, mulching, and aftercare during the first year are critical to success. Our team will walk you through the process.
Relocation cost depends on tree size, species, distance, and site conditions. Call (210) 202-4284 for a free site visit and custom quote.
