BUILDING WITH TREES

Tree Protection Planning for Development and Building Sites

• Do you know that trees contribute up to 15% of the value of a developed property?
• Do you know how much of the tree’s root zone you have to protect to ensure its survival?

For successful tree retention it is vital that you get input from your consulting arborist BEFORE you design your project.

We provide the following services to help clients successfully retain their trees:

• Preliminary site reconnaissance.
• Preparation of site tree inventories and vegetation reports.
• Assessment of site trees and their suitability for retention.
• Determination of critical root zones necessary for survival for retained trees.
• Identification of all tree root conflicts with the proposed site work (building, roadway footprints, and utility corridors).
• Review and resolution of tree conflicts with the client.
• Preparation of tree protection plans and specifications required by municipal authorities.
• Support and assistance for the client in public hearings and committee meetings.
• Mediation between clients and regulatory bodies.
• Briefing of the construction crew on the tree protection plan prior to the start of construction
• Supervision of excavation and blasting work in tree root zones.
• Remediation of root damage during construction.
