Trees needs protection during construction
Damage to roots and trunks could jeopardize tree health

While large construction projects often call for the removal of some trees, they also call for the preservation of others. The problem is heavy equipment, heavy traffic and a heavy volume of builders on the property pose a threat to those trees you wish to protect. Before you begin any building project, consult with Hansen's Tree Service to develop strategies to keep your trees out of harm's way through the building process.

Tree-mendous Tips:
There are a variety of ways construction can impact the health and life of a tree:

• Tools and workers can cause visible damage by scraping against trees in the construction process.
• Trees can suffer from soil compaction if heavy equipment is being used on your lawn.
• And many times if a pool or a home addition is added, you run the risk of invading your trees' critical root zone.
