Preservation of mature trees add value to your property and in some municipalities are required as part of a construction project. There are processes that are required to ensure that the trees do not get damaged during the construction process.


Hiring a Certified Arborist to assist you with your project should be the first step. We work with Builders, Architects, and Landscape designers to plan for potential disruption within the tree's critical zone.  Preservation of the Critical Root Zone (CRZ) helps eliminate potential damage by heavy machinery and equipment.

Damaging or removing the majority of a tree's root system is irreversible. 

Before you start, plan ahead with a tree preservation plan and protect the trees critical root zone.

Installation of Fencing as a Warning Sign to heavy trucks and machinery to keep out of the area should be installed.

Posted signs and fencing should be installed properly, the tree's CRZ and drip line must be calculated to determine the size and area that the fencing should be installed.


Critical Root Zone (CRZ)

Protective Fencing

Before the start of construction, protective fencing with warning signs to heavy machinery should be installed. Determine the area of the tree's critical root zone in order to protect their extensive root system.


Root Preparation

 

Root pruning may be required on trees before the construction to ensure that the tree's root system is not ripped or torn during the construction process. Root pruning should be performed by an experienced Plant Health Care Technician.

Compacted Soil Remediation

Radial Trenching

Compaction occurs during construction and from heavy machinery and equipment. Compacted soil decreases water and and air, and constricts the tree's root growth. There are techniques and processes for decompaction and soil remediation.
