Preventing damage during construction

Are you doing landscaping or renovations to the outside of your home? If there is any kind of heavy machinery planned, it pays to think ahead about which trees will be affected. Soil compaction, root damage, bark damage, and backfilling can all have major consequences to the trees within a range. And of course sometimes collateral damage is necessary, but the effect is irreversible, so it’s wise to make informed choices and avoid a surprise like a large dying tree next to your new build.
