We can help you understand tree protection zones prior to construction.

Trees are vital in contributing to the cleanliness of the air we breathe while enhancing the natural beauty of the area in which they exist. Additionally, trees serve as the homes for countless animals and other wildlife, and some trees supply food and materials used in everyday life. On sunny days, sitting in the shade provided by a tall tree can provide respite from the heat. As essential aspects of landscaping, trees do a lot for the world we live in, and many governmental agencies have protections in place to ensure healthy trees can grow.

Tree Protection Zone

This is true in areas of Canada, where urban growth and construction can have a negative impact on the forests. The government imposes standards of tree protection, which include tree protection zones. These zones are areas in which a barrier must be put in place to protect the root zone and maintain the structural integrity of the anchor roots during construction. No unauthorized activity can occur in the tree protection zone of a tree that is covered under a municipal permit process or agreement. However, our team at Hudson Tree Services can assist with this process.
