Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Barricades
Understanding more about tree barricade services can help clarify their importance and operation within the context of your construction project.
Tree barricades work by creating a physical barrier around a tree’s critical root zone, the area under the canopy where the roots are most active in water and nutrient absorption. This barrier prevents machinery and foot traffic from getting too close, reducing the risk of physical damage to the tree and compaction of the soil around its roots, which can severely restrict a tree’s access to water and nutrients.
The duration for which tree barricades need to remain in place depends on the nature of the construction project. For short-term projects, they may only be needed for a few weeks or months. However, for larger developments, it might be necessary to keep them around trees for the entirety of construction to guarantee long-term protection.
The installation of tree barricades involves measuring the critical root zone of a tree and then erecting a sturdy barrier at the appropriate distance from the trunk. It’s important that the barricade is of sufficient height and strength to deter unauthorized entry and prevent damage, making sure it is securely anchored to withstand weather conditions in Tampa.
