Thanks. But more looking for someone to buy from and have plant.
Don't plant a tree within 50' of your house.
Okay, thanks!
Where are you? Maas in Seabrook is fabulous, but I don't know if they deliver & plant.
Heights area
How big of a tree? Have you gotten an idea on pricing? Just mentioning because a full mature tree like an oak to be transplanted into your yard will not be cheap. Depending on age and type of tree could be well in 5 figures.
Probably 25 gallon+
Nuttall Oak.
Moon something
I always hear these folks advertising on The Garden Line: Verdant Tree Farm Never purchased from them though.
Had a good experience with RCW. They provide delivery and planting services.
Tree and Plant Nursery | Home | Moon Valley Nurseries
Bought a 8-10 year old oak from them 10+ years ago. They came and planted it and it's done great.
Straight ball, I hit very much.
my neighbor planted a Live Oak about 5-10 feet away from their house because they wanted shade :/
Moon Valley Nurseries is really good. Katy freeway @ wilcrest.

I wouldn't call 25 gallon "big". We recently had 45 gallon live oaks put in and I wouldn't call them "big". They are probably 8 feet tall.
We just put in a cedar elm last year and love it. Look it up, native, good size, beautiful manageable leaves. If you need a hook-up to buy and plant from a private nursery let me know.
They only sell the ones that fell off a truck?

Cheaper and faster to rent a jackhammer.

I'd probably try asking someone at Buchanan before asking this board.

My neighbors hired a cheap tree trimming service to get ready for storms. The cut the internet to my house while trimming a tree across the street.
Cable company wanted me to wait 2 hours to see if it worked itself out on its own.
Did it?

Surprisingly it did not.
My broken cable has worked itself out before.
By worked I slapped a couple connectors on it and reattached. Better than waiting 3 days.

Might contact Environmental Design. If it's too small a job for them they may be able to refer you to someone else.
My cable was disconnected across street. Professional took about 2 hours to connect.

Recommend them for anything over 50 gallons.
Not sure if this is still an active inquiry but Environmental Design is the best there is. Happy to provide a contact there, they planted all of the trees in Aggie Park for me and a couple of trees in yards for a friend on the Memorial area. Top shelf team all the way.
I've got a 75+ year old post oak that's ready for pick-up.

I also have a pergola and found out the only good use for it (like yours) during the derecho.
Also looking for a large replacement tree or obnoxious concrete sculpture to block sun.
I've got two of these MFers ready to be picked up.
Klein area.

Don't you DARE plant it within 100 yards of any electrical infrastructure.
