Tree protection is vital on any site where you intend for the local tree cover to continue undisturbed. A tree that is damaged during construction or demolition may never recover, so it is important to be proactive about protecting them. In addition, most cities have what is called a “Tree Protection Ordinance” laying out the conditions under which trees can and cannot be taken down. Local regulations vary, but if you have trees on your job site that need to stay standing, your first line of defense will be a tree protection fence.
