First off you don't want to get into cutting the concrete, too many outfits around that have big saws that can do it cheaper than you can and faster too! The most you want to do is drill a couple of 1 1/2" holes so you can insert a couple of cable wedges to lift the slabs into a truck, or set them along side the road for later clean up. Time wise for the rest of the work 1 hour for concrete removal, 1 hour excavation, and 1 1/3 hrs for backfill and tree setting. Adding in trucking I would be looking at some where in the $750 to $800 per tree range.
If you can't find a cable wedge add in 1 hour more for equipment time to hammer out the concrete. adding in another $150 to your tree cost. $900 to $950 per tree.
