Root zone protection
At Arboriculture Victoria, we specialise in safeguarding the critical root zones of trees, employing specialised techniques and adhering to industry standards to ensure optimal tree health, especially during construction activities. Here’s how we can assist you:
-
Root Zone Mapping: Utilize specialised techniques to accurately map the extent of the root zone, crucial for determining Tree Protection Zones (TPZ) as per AS 4970-2009 standards.
Physical Barriers: Set up physical barriers to delineate TPZs, preventing inadvertent root damage during construction.
-
Construction Collaboration: Collaborate closely on construction plans to minimise root disturbance and integrate tree protection into project timelines.
-
Regular Health Monitoring: Monitor tree health regularly to ensure compliance with AS 4970 standards and identify early signs of stress or damage.
-
Employ selective root pruning methods as outlined in AS 4970 Protection of Trees on Development Sites to maintain tree health.
-
Educational Outreach: Educate stakeholders on the importance of root zone protection and sustainable tree management practices.
Effectiveness Assessment: Assess the effectiveness of protection measures and recommend remedial actions if needed to maintain optimal tree health.
