When Truck Access is not Possible

Effective September 1, 2015, and until further notice, we will no longer plant trees in backyards unless we are able to access the backyard with our truck spades.
We will supply & deliver trees in baskets to curbside if you or your landscaper wish to plant the trees. Keep in mind the smallest trees (3" caliper) we sell will weigh 600lbs. A 40" wide tree dolley is available for your use, $200 deposit required, fully refundable when tree dolley is returned to the farm, $100 refundable if we have to pick it up. Larger trees will require a skid steer to handle the trees.
Trees in wire baskets can only be dug and supplied in early spring and fall.
We do not supply trees in baskets during the summer months.
