Tree Preservation During Development

Construction can damage tree roots, compact soils, alter drainage, and compromise long-term tree health. Brandywine Forest helps property owners, developers, design teams, and municipalities protect valuable trees throughout planning and construction.

Services

• Predevelopment tree inventories and assessments

• Tree preservation and removal recommendations

• Critical root zone and protection-zone mapping

• Review of grading, utility, stormwater, and construction plans

• Tree protection plans and specifications

• Construction monitoring and site inspections

• Root-zone investigation and air excavation

• Documentation of tree damage or protection violations

• Corrective action and mitigation recommendations

• Arborist reports and supporting documentation

A professional tree study completed early in the design process can identify conflicts before construction begins. This can reduce redesigns, permitting delays, change orders, tree damage, and unexpected removal costs—saving the project both time and money.
