Preventing Construction Damage In Your Trees
Preventing construction damage can be as easy as hiring a professional tree care service like Hansen’s to provide tree protection plans designed to protect the site from unnecessary damage.
If damage has already occurred, an arborist will present a plan to treat the tree and prevent further damage. After construction, make sure that the tree is cared for through:
- Mulching
- Fertilization
- Soil aeration
- Pruning
At Hansen’s Tree Service, we work hard to minimize damage at every level with responsible land clearing. We utilize low-impact machines to minimize soil disturbance and protect your valuable trees by removing only what you want removed.
