Nothing transcend our connection with nature than encountering the timeless marvel of a specimen tree; gnarled, worn and defiant to the conditions of life. They are soothing to the soul and add a character unmatched by no other member of the plant kingdom. For the discriminating client that wants a 'lived-in' look, specimen canopy trees are a necessity.
Specimen Trees are a good investment because their thick trunks have grown to the point where they are structurally more stable than younger trees. Recent hurricanes have caused many to shy away from canopy trees in favor of palms. Most specimen trees left in the Caribbean basin are in fact hurricane survivors. Canopy trees are still the backbone of any comfortable landscape.
Specimen trees require the financial commitment of an Owner, but also the expertise of a team that can handle the job. KVLA Design has been involved with 100's of successful tree locations, whether working with local labor and equipment or dealing with reputable tree relocation specialists. Through a network of nurseries and Tree Moving Specialists , we help an Owner make good decisions about procuring, securing and caring for their investment.
After care is critical to the re-establisment of a healthy specimen. We can set up a maintenance program that utilizes the latest biological products to promote a healthy re-establishment.
