Tree Protection Zone
A Tree Protection Zone (“TPZ”) is the protected area around a regulated tree. The Tree Protection Zone includes the entire area of the site that will be protected from any disturbance, including construction related traffic and material storage. The minimum Tree Protection Zones are based on the diameter of the regulated tree. The TPZ guidelines provide the minimum area to be protected for the anchor and transport roots of the tree, however, there can still be loss of the feeder roots that stretch further than the TPZ.
The Real Tree Masters provides tree protection zone fencing services in Ontario including Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Vaughan, Burlington, Richmond Hill, Brampton, Milton, Markham and surrounding areas.
Tree Protection Plan
A Tree Protection Plan (“TPP”) must be created by an arborist or landscape architect. The goal of it is to identify the location, species, size, condition, tree protection & indicate location of any excavation that requires root pruning of trees within the Tree Protection Zone. Permit applications related to construction must include a Tree Protection Plan. The TPP is normally prepared with an arborist report or under the guidance of a certified arborist, when regulated trees are in the vicinity of proposed construction work. All Tree Protection Plans must be prepared at a usable metric scale.
