Move the tree by lifting and pulling on the root ball instead of the trunk. When transporting the tree on the highway, if it has leaves or tender new growth, wrap the foliage with a burlap or mesh tarp to protect it from wind damage. Drive slowly if possible. Don't use make-shift ramps than can slip away. Protect your eyes from getting poked by branches.
Neighbors usually have the right to trim off branches extending over their property line.
Placement over a utility line that may later have to be excavated could mean the tree will have to be removed. Evergreens will provide year around screening while deciduous trees only screen during the growing season. Deciduous trees placed on the southern or western side of your home will help cool in the summer while still allowing sunlight through in the winter. Rows of evergreens will act as windbreaks against cold northwesterly winds in the winter. Check for buried utility lines, wires and underground hazards before starting to dig.
