The Tree Mover Introduce
For homeowners, landscape architects, and commercial developers across Michigan, trees are more than just greenery—they are investments that add instant maturity, shade, and significant value to a property. When dealing with mature trees, or when looking to establish a new, fully grown landscape, the expertise of a specialized firm is crucial. The Tree Mover, based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, is the region’s premier specialist, operating as both a professional tree service and a dedicated tree farm, offering solutions that traditional landscapers cannot match.
Their core expertise lies in the challenging process of large-scale tree transplanting and relocation. Utilizing specialized equipment, The Tree Mover can safely move mature, established trees, saving beloved specimens from development and instantly transforming a new landscape. This high-level skill, coupled with their role as a nursery and tree farm, makes them a unique and invaluable resource in Southwest Michigan. They don't just provide tree work; they provide the opportunity to shape the environment with magnificent, healthy trees, whether sourced from their own stock or moved from one location on a client's property to another.
Customer feedback consistently highlights their exceptional communication, fairness in pricing, and the professional skill of their crews, who are noted for leaving job sites "clean and nice," demonstrating a commitment to overall property care that goes beyond the roots. For any significant arboricultural project in the region, The Tree Mover stands out as the trusted name for preserving, moving, and supplying quality trees.
The Tree Mover operates from its central facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan, a strategic location that allows them to efficiently serve residential, commercial, and municipal clients throughout Southwest Michigan and beyond. As both a tree farm and a service provider, the physical location serves as the hub for their operations and nursery stock.

October 10 · JJae BakerWhat great experience working with the Tree Mover. Troy was extremely helpful and flexible in organizing a challenging tree move.

May 02 · Mark CrawfordGreat team to work with! This is our second year coming back for more trees and we could not be happier. The white pines are beautiful!Professional, hardworking, & very fairly priced! This is who you want to go with.
June 06 · Kelly KellettTroy and his team are excellent! We had a total of 22 trees planted and his guys pulled it off with ease and we had a few tight areas for his machine to maneuver. We met Troy at his tree farm which was very impressive showed him pictures of our property and he guided us in our decision making, his prices were very reasonable for the quality of the trees he grows. I would highly recommend Troy and his team 👍👍Dave and Denise
