P-train,
Moving trees that haven't been grown under nursery conditions, i.e. haven't been periodically root -pruned, is specialized work, and I wouldn't touch it.

That said, Spruce have compact fibrous root-systems and stand better chance of success of transplant than Pines. Timing and preparation of the tree for transplant over a season would be critical for success. Follow-up care for several years after transplant is also essential.

How much? More than any HOA would ever be willing to pay!
