Where We Get Involved

• Pre-construction tree feasibility, before site plans are finalized, evaluating which trees are realistic candidates for retention given the proposed grading, utilities, and building footprint, so preservation options are built into the design rather than added afterward.
• Tree impact assessments for proposed grading, utilities, and building footprints
• Plan and specification review for tree protection requirements, checking grading, utility routing, and construction details against protection requirements while changes are still inexpensive to make.
• On-site construction monitoring during clearing, grading, and utility work
• Root pruning and excavation oversight near retained trees, determining what can safely be cut, what needs to be hand-dug or tunneled instead, and what alternative routing might avoid a conflict altogether.
• Post-construction tree evaluation once site work is complete

Why Early Involvement Matters

Tree-related conflicts are far less costly to resolve during planning than after grading has started. Reviewing a site plan before it is finalized can identify retained trees whose root zones conflict with proposed utilities or grading, giving the design team room to adjust before those conflicts become change orders. Grading is one of the most damaging phases for retained trees. Once it starts, root and grade conflicts are difficult and expensive to undo.

Ongoing monitoring during construction, periodic onsite inspection during clearing, grading, and utility work, confirms that protection measures shown on paper are actually being followed on site.

Compliance and Documentation

Many development projects and jurisdictions require documented tree protection measures as a condition of clearing or building permits. ArborManagers provides the written plans, monitoring records, and post-construction evaluations that developers, contractors, and municipal reviewers need to demonstrate compliance throughout a project.

Deliverables

Construction development consulting is documented through written feasibility findings, impact assessments, monitoring reports, and post-construction evaluations, scaled to the size and phase of the project. Post-construction evaluations document any changes in tree condition following site work, giving property owners, contractors, and municipal reviewers a written record of how retained trees fared through construction.
