Preservation

Preservation of trees can take many forms; pre-construction, routine maintenance, and long term care. Long term care extends the life of trees that have reached maturity, which have become integral parts of the overall landscape. It is not unusual to go to great lengths to preserve trees during construction, only to have them injured through construction stresses. Even small increases in grade, placing additional soil over the roots, can be devastating to trees. Careful planning with a certified arborist is essential to tree preservation.

Even healthy trees need routine maintenance. Our long term plans for these towering giants are often motivated by the many benefits that they provide to our properties. These benefits include: shade, air conditioning, sound barriers, privacy, wind breaks, and aesthetic beauty.

Tree preservation includes:

• Preconstruction site analysis
• Post construction consultation
• Specialty preservation pruning
• Risk tree assessments
• Diagnostic evaluations
• Cabling and bracing
• Fertilization
