Renovation Tree Care  |
| |
 Take a look at nearly any neighborhood landscape and you will see that the trees that dot the area are not only prominent features of the landscape, but are given great care by the municipality and the residents to help protect them and keep them healthy.
Dead or dying trees are removed and replaced quickly in most cases and replaced with new trees that will take root in the area providing shade within a couple of seasons and design for another generation.
The trees in your own backyard are just as important and are also the main focal point in most cases. The trees often provide shade, a break from the weather, and often a place for young children to hide and climb. What many homeowners don’t realize is that the presence of trees in your yard can raise the value of your property by 7 to 27 percent.
Unfortunately, when large projects are undertaken trees are often sacrificed or at least not protected well enough. Additions to your home or even landscape changes should always evolve around the well being of the trees in the immediate area to help preserve these gems.
To help save your trees from the destruction of a large scale home project try to flag all of your trees to make them more visible to work crews. If your yard is thick with trees you will likely want to select which trees you want to spare as it will be very tough to save all of them.
If large trucks or other equipment must be moved around the yard mark a single roadway well and insist that they use it alone to avoid compacting soil around the tree roots as well as eliminate the risk of damaging the roots as they move around them. All equipment, tools, etc. should be kept well away from the drip line of the tree to further ensure its safety.
One final rule should be that no paints, solvents or petroleum products are disposed of on your property as these substances can easily taint ground water before it reaches the roots of the trees where it will almost certainly mean death. Taking these simple steps and talking with your work crew about their importance should do the trick and keep your trees healthy.
