On the Delmarva | I agree with how to move the trees, but depending on what the soil type is where you're planting them I would be careful on the use of an auger. If it's heavy and even slightly wet, an auger can cause glazing of the sides of the hole. This is really prevalent when using a smaller diameter auger than root ball diameter and reaming the hole larger. Glazing hardens the sides of the holes and makes a lot tougher on the tree to get new roots through the sides. I have seen many tree roots become girdled from sidewall glazing. Another note make sure you cut the twine up top before you cut the burlap. This allows you to postion the tree the way you want it. After you cut the burlap, you are not going to spin that tree.
