Construction & Development

New Construction

Keep your project moving, without sacrificing canopy health

We plan, and monitor tree protection from site prep to final occupancy. Our team outlines clear Tree Protection Zones (TPZ), advises crews on practical do’s and don’ts, and check in throughout the build so protection measures actually stick. The result: fewer surprises, fewer fines, healthier trees, and a smoother schedule.

What we do
  • Pre-construction tree inventory, grading/conflict review, and protection plan
  • TPZ layout, fencing specs, access/laydown routing, and soil safeguarding
  • Toolbox talks for builders and trades; quick-reference compliance guidance
  • Supervision for excavations near critical roots (air-spade, tunnelling, hand-dig)
  • Ongoing site inspections with photo documentation and corrective actions
  • Incident response and remediation (compaction relief, pruning, mulching, watering)
  • Close-out report for inspectors and occupancy sign-off
Why it works in Vancouver and surrounding municipalities

Drought stress, freeze–thaw cycles, and compacted soils are common here. We tailor protection and after-care to local conditions so trees establish and thrive post-build.

Incorporating trees into projects from day one!

We help owners, designers, and developers navigate municipal bylaws, align site layouts with tree retention goals, and produce submission-ready reports that withstand review. Our approach is collaborative and incorporates all known legal/municipal considerations in line with development submission needs.

How we help
  • Development application support: bylaw interpretation, permit pathways, timelines
  • Tree retention/removal mapping tied to grading, servicing, and building footprints
  • Replacement planting plans that meet local canopy targets and species lists
  • Risk and health assessments of significant/heritage and boundary trees
  • Coordination with civil, architectural, and landscape teams to resolve conflicts
  • Wildland–Urban Interface and riparian considerations where applicable
  • Public/stakeholder materials and meeting support, if required
  • Conditions-of-approval tracking and bond/deficiency close-out
