Development & Building Sites

Arbor Operations is a leading supplier of the necessary tree care, management services and consulting for developers, contractors, builders, and landscapers.

As developers, you know many trees are protected and the councils protecting those trees will require arborist reports or landscape management plans to be submitted for any proposed tree works or removal.  Arbor Operations excels in conducting these requirements as set out in AS4970 – 2009 Protection of Trees on Development Sites.

Excavation works on building sites can cause enormous damage to the tree roots. As professional arborists, Arbor Operations can help developers, contractors, builders, and landscapers avoid such issues and the associated pitfalls once the trees’ root system is damaged.

One of the most effective tools we use is the Arbor CAD drawing program which calculates the Tree Protection Zones (TPZ), Structural Root Zones (SRZ) and the amount of TPZ fencing required for your development project.  Arbor CAD, used in conjunction with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), allows for more accurate encrachment whilst preserving the health of trees on development sites.  GPR can show where the trees’ roots are prior to breaking the ground – saving valuable time and money. It can tell where the trees’ roots are prior to breaking ground.

Arbor Operations provides ethical unbiased factual advice to our clients. We don’t remove trees or recommend a healthy tree for removal for monetary gain.
