We provide advice on tree related matters, including management of the urban forest, heritage tree assessment and recommendations for statutory protection on development sites.
Our knowledge of construction methods in architecture, landscape architecture and engineering allow us to recommend numerous options to help mitigate construction related impacts so that trees of value can continue to provide amenity to the community.
Our arboricultural consultant is a tertiary qualified (AQF5) Member of Arboriculture Australia and the International Society of Arboriculture with significant experience in managing trees to be retained and protected during construction.
We provide guidance to Council’s on managing urban forests and trees within council reserves, specifically regarding succession planting of mature avenues of trees and heritage plantings in parks and reserves.
Our ability to graphically represent tree constraints and protection requirements through the use of CAD software makes it easy for clients and construction contractors to understand their obligations and coordinate their site management.
Projects we are involved in include:
- protection of trees near sewer and stormwater drainage works
- heritage tree succession planting in streets and parks
- protection of trees near beach revetment and seawall works
- heat island mitigation through street tree planting
- selection of appropriate tree species for Town Centre streets
- design of soil mediums and volumes for sustainable street tree growth
- impact assessments and protection measures for development sites.
