Protecting Trees During Construction
Construction activities can cause serious damage and even death to trees if proper measures are not used to protect trees. Injuries to trees are not always obvious, and the decline of the tree may not be evident for months or years after the construction activities are complete. When such conditions do become evident, it is often too late to correct the damage, and tree loss or tree hazards may result.
Protecting damage to trees during construciton is not difficult or expensive. In fact, taking protective measures will probably cost less than replacing or treating a damaged tree.
