UC Davis hired us to evaluate the impact of new construction on a rare Chilean soapbark tree in proximity to the proposed building. We assessed tree health and structure, then exposed and inspected roots at both the base of the trunk and several feet from the trunk. After evaluating the tree, we defined a tree protection zone, then worked with representatives of the University and the construction company to develop recommendations for preservation of the tree. Prior to construction, we tied back limbs to minimize the need for pruning while providing clearance for construction.

Tree Associates Inc., assists in tree preservation while satisfying local tree ordinances and planning regulations, which is best accomplished through our involvement in the planning, design, and pre- and post-construction stages of a project. Our approach is to provide a tree evaluation which provides information on the species, size and condition of trees and their suitability for preservation. Project plans are then reviewed to determine potential construction impacts and to provide prognoses for the trees to be preserved.
