Nowadays, construction activities are inevitable. Existing infrastructure, including trees are usually damaged as a part of construction activities. Root severance and soil compaction can lead to tree decline. So, when it is possible to shield trees from construction damage, a Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) must be created during the initial stages of development activities.
A tree Protection Zone of a tree is an area where construction related activities are restricted or prohibited to prevent injury to preserved trees, particularly during pre-construction and construction.
The intention of TPZ is to:
Fencing marks-out the area that requires protection and shows that activities within the fence will be carried differently. In accordance with Toronto city standards, the following TPZ guidelines should be observed to ensure that the tree is well protected:
Note: Only an ISA certified Arborist is allowed to install a TPZ and make recommendations. Here at Tree Doctors, we have thorough and extensive knowledge of tree protection on construction sites as well the skill to install the needed levels of tree protection so that your site is in compliance with Toronto City requirements and work can commence.
