Fischer sits in north Nampa inside Canyon County. This small community is part of Treasure Valley's fastest-growing residential zone. New homes pop up between Star and Caldwell, but many yards lack shade.
We help homeowners near Fischer move mature trees to new spots without killing them. Tree transplant Fischer Nampa services let you keep trees you love or add instant shade from our orchard. Our trees range from 5 to 10 years old and are ready for your yard.
Newer subdivisions here often start with bare lots. Meanwhile, the alkaline, clay-heavy soil needs local know-how. Large tree spade trucks also require access planning on smaller residential properties. Strong afternoon Treasure Valley winds affect when we schedule moves.
Your yard can support a transplanted tree with the right prep work. Nampa soil pH often runs between 7.2 and 8.2. That alkaline level affects how roots take hold.
We test your soil before planting. Clay-loam ground common in Fischer needs organic matter added first. This gives roots a better chance to spread and pull nutrients.
Properties closer to Meridian or Caldwell face similar alkaline challenges. If you moved from one of those areas, you already know the drill. We handle the soil work so your tree gets a strong start in its new spot.

You want shade now, not in 15 years. We move mature trees up to 30 feet tall the same day using specialized spade trucks. Your yard gets instant cover and curb appeal.
Many Fischer homes sit on smaller lots in newer subdivisions. Our crew checks truck access before we schedule your move. We plan around driveways, fences, and power lines so your lawn stays protected.
Common trees we relocate include:
- Maples
- Honey locusts
- Ornamental pears
These trees come from our orchard or get moved within your own property. Either way, you skip years of waiting for a sapling to grow. Meet our team and see how we've been growing and transplanting trees since 1992.


Dormant-season moves reduce transplant shock. Late fall or early spring gives your tree the best chance to settle in before stress hits.
Nampa sits in USDA Hardiness Zone 7a. Soil stays workable into late October most years. That gives us a solid fall window before the ground freezes.
Avoid scheduling during July or August. Treasure Valley regularly tops 90°F in peak summer. Heat puts extra strain on roots trying to establish in new ground.
Plan your transplant around these windows:
- Late October through mid-November
- Late February through early April
We help you pick the right timing based on your tree species and property conditions.

Recent buyers in Fischer or North Nampa often inherit bare lots. Newer communities near Star Road or Midland lack mature canopy coverage. Your yard bakes in summer sun while you wait for saplings to grow.
Transplanted trees fix that problem fast. Mature shade cuts summer cooling costs and boosts your property value. Neighbors notice the difference when one yard has real trees.
Families who moved from older downtown Nampa often miss established tree cover. Those neighborhoods had decades to grow shade. Your new subdivision can catch up with one transplant from our orchard.
A 5 to 10-year-old tree from our farm gives you a head start over planting from scratch.
Your tree needs attention after the move. Proper watering, mulching, and wind protection help roots settle into their new home.
Strong Treasure Valley winds can dry out newly transplanted trees. A temporary wind break on the west side blocks afternoon gusts. This prevents moisture loss while roots establish.
Follow these care steps through the first year:
- Water deeply starting day one
- Give 2–3 inches of water twice weekly
- Add 3–4 inches of mulch around the base (keep it off the trunk)
- Check soil moisture before each watering
Idaho winters test new transplants. Roots need consistent moisture even when the tree looks dormant. Residents near Lake Lowell or Kuna should also monitor irrigation through the first summer when heat returns.
We walk you through a care schedule based on your tree species and yard conditions.

Trees are serious, and so are your questions. Here are just a few:
Can large trees be moved in Fischer subdivisions with small lots?
Yes, large trees can be moved in tight spaces. We use drive mats to protect your lawn and assess access before scheduling. Our crew checks driveways, fence gaps, and overhead lines during the estimate visit.
Do I need HOA approval before transplanting a tree in my Fischer yard?
Check your CC&Rs first. Some Fischer-area communities require a landscape change notice before adding or moving trees. Get approval in writing before we schedule your transplant date.
What happens if the ground freezes before my scheduled transplant date?
We reschedule to early spring. Frozen soil damages root balls and prevents proper settling. You won't lose your deposit if weather forces a delay.
How soon after transplanting should I water the tree?
Deep watering starts day one. Give your tree 2–3 inches of water twice weekly through the first year. Consistent moisture helps roots spread into surrounding soil.
Are permits required to plant large trees in Nampa rights-of-way?
City of Nampa requires a free permit from Urban Forestry for trees planted in the right-of-way. Private property plantings typically need no permit unless your HOA requires approval.
Which tree species transplant best in alkaline Nampa soil?
Honey locust, maples, chokecherry, and ornamental pears adapt well to local conditions. These species handle pH levels between 7.2 and 8.2 common in Fischer and North Nampa yards.
