Is it possible to move an established (30ft) holly tree? We are having gates
at the front of our house about to be put in and unfortunately the tree is
right in the way of where they want to build the pillars, is it possible to
replant or drag an established holly tree, approximately 2 meters to the side?
its very beautiful and I didn't want to loose it!

A tree that size will be very heavy and have an extensive root system.
Only a professional would be able to move it using specialised equipment
- if it could be moved at all. You would have to call one in to have a
look, and you are looking at a substantial cost. One problem is knowing
what is under the tree - there may be service pipes or cables which
would only be discovered when the digging starts. Search on "Tree
movers"; if you are in the UK, the sort of company you need is this:

You might find it easier and cheaper to change the position of the gates...
