Protection of trees on the construction site is a joint task of all contractors. to avoid damage and death of trees.
1. Get advice from an arborist. The arborist assesses the condition and integrity of the trees on the site, taking into account the location, species, condition, age and size of each tree. Not all trees need to be saved.
2. Plan the works. The consultant and the construction company should work together in the early stages of project planning.
3. Install barriers in the root protection zone. It is important that the trees are protected in a timely and sustainable manner.
4. Restrict access to the site. To preserve the roots and soil, you need to set up only one route for the entry of equipment into the site and create one permanent parking place for company vehicles. It is important to prohibit contractors from storing materials and damaging the soil in the tree protection zone.
5. Tree care after construction. Trees will take years to adapt to changes in construction and landscaping. Stressed trees are prone to disease and pest attacks, so work out a tree monitoring schedule with your arborist.

Our neighbor wants to cut roots on our 35+ year old white oak tree approx. 10 feet from the base of the tree that he thinks are growing under his driveway downhill from us. Will this damage the tree in any way or cause it to fall in the future.
