Saguaro Cactus Relocation

Moving Saguaros the Right Way — Safely & Legally

Need to move a saguaro? Whether you’re redesigning your landscape or preserving a cactus from construction or development, relocating a saguaro requires expertise, care, and the right equipment.

At Roadrunner Cactus, we specialize in the safe and legal relocation of saguaros of all sizes — whether it’s across a yard or across the Valley. We’ve been moving cacti throughout Arizona since 2005 and handle all the required state permits on your behalf.

When to Relocate a Saguaro:

Home renovations or landscaping changes

New construction on your property

HOA or zoning requirements

Preserving a saguaro from damage

Moving to a new home or lot

Saguaro Staging for Construction Projects

Doing new construction or major landscaping? We offer temporary saguaro staging — the safe, short-term relocation of saguaros during building projects. Our team will carefully dig, move, and store your saguaros on-site or off-site, then replant them when your project is complete.

Saguaro staging is ideal for:

Custom home builds
Pool installations
Lot grading or utility trenching
Landscape redesigns
Any site where saguaros need temporary removal and protection

We’ll help protect your investment and Arizona’s native plants, all while keeping your project on schedule. Permits and full handling included.
