It's also very common in CT as well. As for the price paid to the homeowner, it's usually in the $500-$1500 dollar range. There is a high end nursery in Long Island which makes a lot of their money ($18,000,000 gross) this way. Their nursery if full of speciman plants for $30,000-$50,000 each. My friend used to be the head designer there and would tell me all kinds crazy stories. One time they helicoptered a copper beech they got for free from one property in Long island to another in Connecticut. That's an extreme. There are also plenty of smaller companies moving 20-40' trees by knocking on doors.
