Did You Know Construction Can Kill Trees?

Written By José Fernández

We see it all the time: trees surrounding a newly built home dying as a result of soil compaction and mechanical damage from heavy machinery, as well as change in the native grade affecting soil depth and water flow. A tree preservation plan is needed prior to construction which prioritizes your woody landscape as an important part of your construction project. With a Pre-Construction Tree Preservation Consultation from Arbor Answers, our experts will build a custom plan for your construction site to encourage the trees to thrive following the completion of the project. 

Options for the Pre-Construction Tree Preservation Consultation:

  • On-site meeting to discuss construction plan and desired trees on the property

  • Customized plan to help protect your trees during and after construction

  • Installation of temporary fencing to give trees proper perimeters (if needed)

  • Installation of temporary root zone protection (if needed)

Contact us before you build to maintain the beautiful wooded landscape you desire!

His favorite tree is Quercus alba (White Oak) for its potentially massive size, strong wood and slow growing habits. Jose likes doing tree work because “I’m doing the first job God gave to man at the beginning of time (Genesis 2.15).”
