The Ghirardi Compton Oak has been a piece of League City's history for
over 100 years. The tree stands 56 feet tall, has a canopy that is over
100 feet wide, and is 135 inches around. It also weighs an incredible
518,000 pounds. A county road widening project put the future of the
Ghirardi Oak in jeopardy. Council voted to use park dedication funds to
hire Hess Landscaping Construction to move the majestic oak. A project
that took them just under a month to complete. Watch the incredible
process from start to finish in this video.
