HESS TREE COMPANY

After a three-year hiatus, Hess Tree Company is back in full operation—re-engaging national and international markets and once again setting the standard in large-specimen tree consulting, feasibility strategy, and project planning.

Beginning January 1, 2026, Hess Tree Company has returned to full-scale advisory operations across the United States and select international markets, consulting on some of the most complex, high-risk, and logistically demanding large-tree initiatives in the world. This return marks more than a restart—it represents a renewed commitment to delivering elite-level tree strategy, technical planning, and specimen supply guidance during the earliest and most critical phases of development.

With more than 35 years of field experience, Hess Tree Company remains intentionally lean and insight-driven. We combine hands-on leadership with engineering-level precision, transport feasibility analysis, and world-class logistical planning. Our focus has never been overhead—it has always been accountability, clarity, and results.

Hess Tree Company has been a trusted name in large-scale specimen tree strategy, preservation planning, and sourcing advisory for over three decades—supporting high-profile resort developments, golf communities, environmental mitigation efforts, municipal projects, and international landscape installations.

We specialize in:

Pre-development feasibility studies for large and monumental tree initiatives
Engineering-driven site evaluation, access planning, and logistical modeling
Strategic planning for species selection, soil preparation, stabilization, and long-term viability
National and international consulting and technical advisory for major resort, government, and restoration projects

Our approach blends engineering discipline with horticultural expertise, ensuring every project is deliberate, defensible, and strategically sound before execution begins.

Historic Relocation Portfolio — Pre-2022 Field Operations

The following images document complex large-specimen relocation projects completed prior to 2022, during Hess Tree Company’s former execution-based operational model.

As of 2022, the company transitioned to an advisory structure focused on feasibility engineering, logistical modeling, and pre-development strategy. The experience reflected in these projects now serves as the technical foundation for our consulting practice.

A Legacy That Grew from the Ground Up

Hess Trees began more than 30 years ago in California, rooted in the specialized supply of high-caliber specimen trees for luxury landscapes and premier developments. What began as a focused sourcing operation evolved into one of the most technically capable large-tree firms in the industry.

For more than two decades, Hess Trees executed complex large-scale tree relocation projects across challenging terrain and high-profile developments. From steep hillsides to dense urban infill sites, our relocation work demanded engineering precision, specialized equipment, logistical discipline, and deep horticultural understanding. That period of execution defined our reputation for solving problems others considered impossible.

As our portfolio expanded beyond state lines and into international markets, so did the scale and technical complexity of the projects we handled. Today, Hess Trees operates as an international consulting authority, drawing on decades of hands-on tree relocation and field execution experience to advise on high-profile developments around the world. We provide developers, architects, golf course designers, and estate owners with strategic insight rooted in real-world performance.

Through every phase of our evolution—from specimen supply to large-scale relocation to strategic advisory—our commitment has remained constant: precision, accountability, and respect for living systems.

This isn’t just our business. It’s our legacy—and we continue to build on it every day.
