Protection plan

A Tree Protection Plan establishes the necessary measures to minimize the harmful effects of construction or maintenance work on your trees. Whether you are undertaking a major development or simple site modifications, a professional protection plan is often the deciding factor between a thriving landscape and a costly failure.

Why consult an arborist before your project?

Contractors, architects, and project managers are experts in building, but they are not tree specialists. Construction damage is often invisible at first but can lead to a tree's rapid decline within 2 to 5 years.

Common causes of post-construction tree death:

• Soil Compaction: Heavy machinery crushing the tiny air pockets roots need to breathe.
• Excavation & Root Injuries: Severing vital structural and feeder roots.
• Backfilling: Adding too much soil over roots, effectively "suffocating" them.
• Physical Damage: Accidental impact to the trunk or canopy.

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Protecting an established tree is far more economical than removing and replacing a dead one."
