How do I care for my trees before, during, and after construction?
Construction Protection and Restoration
The # 1 cause of tree health decline that we see on a daily basis can be traced back to poor or no tree protection during construction activities.
Physical injury, cutting of roots, soil compaction, and smothering of roots by soil are just a few ways trees are damaged during construction.
Ideally, an arborist should be involved in the planning stage of construction and then regularly during construction to develop and implement the tree preservation aspects of the construction job.
Our staff uses several techniques to ensure proper tree protection during construction including tree barriers, mulching, planned access routes, compaction reduction, and the installation of tree islands, terraces, and aeration systems.
Typically we are called when trees start showing obvious signs of decline during the final stages or after construction is completed. In these circumstances, there are still measures that can be taken to improve the health of the trees.
Pruning damaged limbs, cabling and bracing trees that pose a risk of failure, fertilization, mulching, and soil aeration are just a few of the methods we use to treat trees after construction is completed.
