Will these cedars move and transplant well?

I don't know what type of cedars they are, but they're big and native and sadly located right where our back door will be when our house is constructed. We'd like to move them to the back property line for immediate privacy and because I never like to see a large tree bulldozed.

We're in the Dallas TX area, and have a local tree farm willing to move them, but we would wait until late October when the weather is milder. We would pay by the day, but with no guarantee of successful transplant.

any experience or advice here? i'd love to make it happen, but don't want to throw away a few thousand dollars if it's doomed to failure.

here's a couple photos of the trees.
