Use a sharp shovel or spade to dig a wide circle around the plant as lavender plants have extensive root systems. Lift the plant carefully from the ground with soil intact as much as possible. Dig a hole in the new location. The hole should be at least twice as wide as the root system.

Prepare the tree's new home by digging a hole large enough to accommodate the root ball you plan to transplant. A root ball should be 1 foot across for every 18 inches of height, and the hole you dig should be four times the size of the root ball to help the shallow rooting system of the dwarf Japanese maple take hold.
