tree protection during construction

Tree protection during construction involves implementing measures to prevent damage to existing trees on a site. This includes establishing physical barriers, such as fencing, around the drip line (the outer edge of the canopy), to protect roots and trunks from machinery and soil compaction. Construction activities are carefully planned to avoid root zone disturbance, and pruning or excavation in proximity to trees is minimized or done under arborist guidance. These practices help maintain tree health and stability, ensuring they survive the construction process and continue to provide environmental benefits after project completion.
