Opitz GmbH & Co. KG
Großbaumverpflanzung

Trees respire with their roots. Insufficient oxygen supply of the soil will effect plant life in a negative way. Aerators break up the soil by means of compressed air, thus improving the soil climate. The trees will respond with a healthy foilage.

Healthy trees grow in good soil. Your DGG team offers technical advice and appropriate measures to restore and maintain the natural balance of soil.

Opitz takes the next step. With our innovative and worldwide unique procedure for transplanting superlarge trees, it is now possible to transplant every vital tree - no matter how large it is.

Very large trees cannot be transplanted using the round spade technique. For these cases, we have developed special procedures with the help of which individual requirements can be met to move even the so-called superlarge trees professionally.

Construction work impairs a tree even when it is not moved. Right from the beginning support is offered. DGG international will take measures to protect your trees and keep them in good shape during and after con-
struction activities.

Trees which have not been transplanted also need care. The competent tree professionals of DGG international want to make sure that your trees thrive and you will enjoy their healthy green for many years to come.

For every Tree we'll find a Spade
Generally speaking, every tree is transplantable. But looking at individual trees we must concede that success in tree transplanting depends on factors like size, location, vitality, season etc.. After having assessed the tree, the arborist of DGG international will select the appropriate tree spade for each particular job.

Some features of Optimal tree spades are unique. For instance, when transplanting low branched trees, perfect branches often have to be cut off only to fit the machine. However, when working with an Optimal 2500 you don't have to maim that tree. It can fold out its spades thus avoiding the lower branches. Or, with Optimal tree spades the reinforcing ribs are welded to the outside of the blades. With this design the spade does not cause damage to the root ball.

Smaller trees and shrubs can be transplanted with nursery spades. These implements can be attached to a suitable power unit at the site. Specimen trees up to a girth of 150 cm are moved with spades ranging from Optimal 1700 to Optimal 3000. These units are mounted on off-road trucks. A safe and gentle tree transport is granted even when long distances on public roads are involved.

When professionals dig with Optimal tree spades, your tree is well cared for. How it works? Have a look at the 3D-animation of a tree being trans-planted with an Optimal 2500.
