Any advice on finding someone who can transplant some larger trees? I'd be looking for someone with a 60" or 90" spade. Google has not been my friend, here.

All leads I have found would lead to sub-contract situations (I know landscapers, landscape architects, etc., who all sub-contract spade work), but I'd rather not pay a middle man for doing nothing beyond handling a phone call.

I also need advice on how to find nurseries that sell large trees for transplanting. I assume one will lead to the other.
 
There are several of them out here. They have special equipment that is awesome for digging, bundling and transporting big trees. But transportation might get a bit pricey with delivery to PA. Search on "big tree nursery pennsylvania" Here are some of the links in PA I found on the inter webs. There are several more.
