A Legacy That Grew from the Ground Up

Hess Trees began over 30 plus years ago in California, rooted in the specialized supply of high-caliber specimen trees for luxury landscapes and premier developments. What started as a passion for sourcing and delivering exceptional plant material quickly evolved.

About a decade into our journey, our expertise naturally expanded into large-scale tree relocation—an area where our precision, equipment knowledge, and respect for trees positioned us as a leader in the field. From steep hillsides to dense urban infill sites, we became known for doing what others said couldn’t be done.

Over time, our reputation grew beyond state lines—and so did our reach. Today, Hess Trees operates as an international consulting authority, advising on high-profile projects around the world. We bring deep technical insight and field-tested knowledge to developers, architects, golf course designers, and estate owners who need more than trees—they need clarity, strategy, and long-term success.

Through it all, we’ve stayed true to our roots.
Our commitment to trees, our craft, and our clients remains as strong today as it was when we planted our first specimen.

This isn’t just our business. It’s our legacy—and we’re proud to grow it every day.
