OUR SYSTEM

THE BOX

Introducing Our Patented Large Tree Transplanting System™

LTTS, or more commonly known as The Box, has simplified the art of moving large trees by replacing old practices which have inherent issues. These old practices and issues have been known to create stress on the tree, which in turn, has limited potential client’s expectations and desires. UFW has designed The Box to protect the tree and root ball throughout the digging and lifting process, while opening up huge possibilities for handling and moving. Our goal with The Box is to open up the door for creativity and big ideas for our clients, not to flood them with worries and restrictions.

The LTTS Design eliminates pinning & strapping the tree or fracturing the root ball. With three different size boxes we can accommodate all sizes of specimen trees.

OUR WORK

By nature, we are a solution focused business – always looking for new and creative ways to make the impossible possible. Most recently we took the opportunity to highlight a waterfront installation job in Palm Beach, Florida that included the use of a barge to bring in an array of mature, specimen statement trees to adorn the waterfront of a private residence.

At Urban Forestry Works, we work with contractors, developers, landscape architects, and homeowners to establish mature and beautiful landscapes. Our clients include luxury golf courses, universities, hospitals, and home developers. Watch here to see more about our work with Mattamy Homes, installing mature and character filled oak trees to a new development in Celebration, Florida.

“I would like to thank Urban Forestry Works for all their hard work, from the pre-dig photos, the logistical management, the planting and irrigation specs, getting ALL the trees on site before I even expected, and the on site expertise. This experience cemented my belief in your capabilities, and I’m grateful. I look forward to many more collaborations with Urban Forestry Works.” Mike Kaiser, Kaiser Trabue Landscape Architecture

“DUMON DESIGN worked with UFW to plant a Live Oak Allee using the largest 28 trees available to create the immediate effect DUMON DESIGN wanted to achieve for our clients. Tree sizes ranged from 15” to 23” in caliper with an average height between 40’ and 50’. The moving and transplanting of the trees was performed and completed in according to the specifications in the contract and UFW met the proposed schedule time frame for installation. UFW’s staff and management were very professional and executed a very successful relocation of all the trees. We are very pleased with UFW’s performance and we would definitely recommend them for any project of this nature.” Andres E. Montero, Principal, DUMON DESIGN

The methods they have developed for growing, preparing, and transporting these large trees are uniquely innovative and effective.” Michael E.

HISTORY

For the past 75 years our family has been serving the green industry. In 1936, Underhill Ferneries was started by Frank and Mary Underhill. Four generations later, our family business has grown and expanded, but still hold true to farming and quality service within the green industry. After many years of growing and handling large specimen trees, we realized that there was an opportunity to improve the way large trees were being handled and relocated. Through innovation, new technology, and a passion to exceed the market’s expectations, we started Urban Forestry Works. UFW’s mission is not only to exceed the market’s expectations, but to bring history, elegance, and maturity to landscapes. We are looking to change the perception of large tree moving, and take it from a high risk practice to a highly trusted and successful service.
