Benefits of Protecting Trees Near Construction Zones
1
Strengthens weak trees
Structural support systems stabilize young or structurally compromised trees, giving them the foundation they need to thrive.
2
Preserves tree health
Protective systems shield trees from environmental hazards like harsh weather, animal damage, or construction activities.
3
Prevents property damage
Reinforcing trees reduces the risk of branches or trunks failing, safeguarding your home, vehicles, and other property assets.
4
Prolongs tree longevity
By addressing structural issues and mitigating external stressors, these systems extend the life and health of your trees.
Types of Protection Systems We Offer
Cable and Brace Installation
Ideal for trees with weak limbs, split trunks, or overextended branches, our cable and brace systems provide supplemental support. Using high-strength steel cables and braces, we reinforce the tree's structure, reducing the risk of failure and ensuring safety during storms or high winds.
New Tree Supports
Young or newly planted trees often need extra stability as they establish their root systems. We install sturdy stakes, guy wires, and straps to support growth while minimizing stress to the trunk and roots.
Deer Protection Systems
Deer can cause significant damage by rubbing their antlers on trunks or eating foliage. We offer a range of solutions, including durable trunk guards, fencing, and repellents, to protect your trees from wildlife damage.
Construction Site Tree Protection
Construction activities can be particularly harmful to nearby trees, causing root compaction, trunk damage, or branch breakage. We can provide protective barriers, root zone fencing, and other strategies to shield trees from harm while allowing construction to proceed safely.
Winterization Services
Winter weather can strain trees through heavy snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. Our winterization services include wrapping trunks, mulching root zones, and applying anti-desiccant sprays to protect trees from frost and dehydration.
Situations Requiring Support or Protection Systems
Certain construction activities can put nearby trees at serious risk—even if they’re not directly in the way. That’s why professional construction site tree services are essential for preventing long-term damage and maintaining compliance with local tree protection laws. If you're planning a project near trees, these are common situations where tree preservation or tree removal services may be necessary:
- New home construction, additions, or major renovations near established trees
- Excavation, trenching, or grading that affects a tree’s root system
- Sidewalk, driveway, or foundation installation close to tree trunks
- Demolition work on tree-lined residential or commercial properties
- Drainage or utility projects near root zones or canopies
- Sites with tree protection ordinances that require preservation plans or permits
- Commercial or multi-use development projects with existing trees onsite
Without proper protection, construction damage can lead to declining tree health, safety hazards, or expensive removals later on. Our certified arborists provide proactive solutions for tree preservation during construction, including protection planning, risk assessments, and post-construction tree care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need tree services during construction?
Construction can cause serious damage to trees—especially their root systems—even if the work seems far away. Tree services help protect valuable trees from injury during excavation, grading, or heavy equipment use, and can preserve the health and safety of trees that will remain on the site.
When should I involve an arborist in a construction project?
Ideally, a certified arborist should be involved during the planning phase—before any work begins. Early assessment helps identify which trees can be preserved, where to place protective barriers, and how to reduce long-term damage to the site’s landscape.
Can you remove trees for a construction project?
Yes. If a tree poses a risk, interferes with development plans, or is in decline, we can handle the removal safely and in compliance with local regulations or permitting requirements.
How do you protect trees during construction?
We use a combination of physical barriers, pruning techniques, root zone protection strategies, and soil preservation practices. Our team also monitors tree health throughout the project to catch any stress symptoms early.
Can damaged tree recover after construction?
Sometimes, yes—but it depends on the extent of the damage. Our post-construction evaluations can recommend treatments like soil amendments, root stimulation, or pruning to help trees recover. In some cases, tree removal may still be the safest option.
