Step 2: Dig up the shrub
Use a sharp, long-handle spade to dig around the perimeter of the shrub. Push the spade straight down into the ground, all the way around the bush. The goal is to remove as much soil with the roots as possible. As you dig, gently rock the shrub to determine where the roots still need to be cut. If needed, get help to remove the plant, and use a wheelbarrow to transport the shrub to the new location.
 Push the spade straight into the ground, and rock the shrub as you go.
