South Nampa Yards Earn the Trip from Lake Shore Drive

Homes near Greenhurst Bible Church and the Tiegs Corner area sit a short haul from our farm. That short drive matters. The less time a root ball spends on the truck, the better the tree settles into your yard.

Our farm is about 10.5 miles west on Lake Shore Drive, past Lake Lowell. We move specimen trees up to 9–12 inches in caliper with our 90-inch spade. Most of our trees are 5 to 10 years old, grown right here in our orchard.

Most south Nampa calls come from one of these reasons:
-Making room for a pool or patio

-Building a shop or addition

-Reshaping the yard after a fence or driveway change

You pick the tree. We dig it, haul it, and plant it the same day.

The Dormant Window Sets the Calendar for Greenhurst Road Moves

Big tree moves work best when the tree is asleep. In Nampa, that runs from late October through April or early May. Leaves are down, sap has slowed, and the ground is workable but not frozen. A tree moved in this window has months to settle roots before summer heat hits.

A wet week can pause everything. Soft ground will not hold a loaded spade truck, so we wait it out. Dry winter days book up fast for that reason.

A few species need a tighter window. Oak, maple, birch, and beech move best in spring only. We will flag this on your site visit if it applies.

Plan ahead if you want a fall or early-spring slot. Calling in summer for a winter move gives you the best pick of dates.

Big Tree Spade Trucks Need a Clear Path into Your Yard

Our spade truck is large, and your yard was not built around it. Before move day, we visit the property to check access. Side yards, fence gates, low branches, and sprinkler lines all factor in.

Many homes along the Greenhurst Road corridor and near Tiegs Corner were built in the 2000s on compacted fill. That ground holds the truck well, but it can be hard on new roots. We plan backfill with this in mind.

A few things to sort before we arrive:

- Call Digline at 1-800-342-1585 — Idaho law requires it before any digging

- Check your HOA rules — some Greenhurst Road subdivisions limit weekday truck hours

-Mark sprinkler heads, drip lines, and any buried dog fence

We use heavy-duty drive mats to spread the truck's weight. They protect lawns, brick driveways, and pavers from rutting or cracking. If a path looks too tight, we will say so up front and work out a plan with you.

What Happens on Transplant Day in the Greenhurst Road Area

Move day runs in a clear order. We dig the receiving hole at your home first. Then the spade pulls a plug at the source spot, the tree rides over, and we set it level in the new hole. Water goes in before we leave.

A mature tree with its root ball can weigh around 15,000 pounds. The root ball runs roughly 6 feet deep and 8 feet across. That is why the truck and the prep work matter so much.

We move only 2 or 3 trees per day. Quality beats speed every time on a job this size.

Soil in this part of Nampa often runs alkaline, with pH above 7.5. We backfill with care so your new tree roots into ground it can use. Once the tree is set, we leave you with watering instructions and a clear plan for the first season.

Aftercare Matters Most in the First Two Summers

The first two summers decide how well your tree settles in. Deep, slow watering twice a week beats short daily sprinkles every time. You want water to soak down to the root ball, not just wet the surface.

Skip the fertilizer the first year. Roots need to recover before they push new growth. Pushing too early can stress a tree that is already working hard.

A few aftercare basics:

- Apply 2 to 4 inches of bark mulch around the base

- Keep mulch a few inches off the trunk

- Check soil moisture before each watering — wet clay does not need more water

- Tune drip lines so runoff does not hit the sidewalk

South Nampa summers can climb into 90s°F, and dry wind pulls moisture from the soil fast. Mulch slows that loss. Excess irrigation runoff into the street is a problem in Nampa, so dial in your system early.

Patience pays here. Some trees look rough the first year and bounce back strong the second. That is normal.
