Tree Protection During Construction

​

Construction is one of the leading causes of tree damage and long-term tree decline. I work as an arboricultural liaison during construction projects, coordinating with contractors and project teams to protect trees, soils, and surrounding plantings throughout the building process.

 

Services include

• Pre-construction tree assessments
• Development of tree protection plans
• Root zone protection and soil preservation strategies
• Contractor guidance on tree protection requirements
• Ongoing construction monitoring and site inspections

 

My Approach

Tree protection is most effective when an arborist is involved early in the planning process. I evaluate the site, identify vulnerable trees, and develop practical protection strategies before construction begins.

During construction, I work directly with contractors to ensure protection measures are implemented correctly. Regular site visits allow me to monitor conditions, address potential problems, and ensure tree protection guidelines are followed.

Proper protection prevents root damage, soil compaction, and other impacts that often lead to tree decline years after construction is completed. With careful planning and oversight, valuable trees can be successfully preserved throughout the construction process.
