Once the soaking process is complete we then use an excavator and dig a 3’ deep trench just outside the drip line. On hot days some additional watering may be required during the air spading process. Depending on the size and specie of tree you’re moving, the spading process can vary from 1 to six hours. The 8” caliper Magnolia in the video was done in three hours. Regards, Chris Thanks for the great question Jim,

How long does it take you to "unearth" a tree? Interesting but doesn’t the air dry out the fibrous roots, especially in the summer? How long does it take you to “unearth” a tree?
