Tree protection plans that satisfy the code and save the trees.
Many jurisdictions require a tree protection plan before you can disturb a site, and mature trees are worth protecting regardless. Daydream prepares tree save and protection plans that meet local requirements and keep significant trees healthy through construction.
A mature tree lost to construction does not come back.
Two things make tree protection matter. First, many jurisdictions require a tree protection or tree save plan before they will issue a permit, and getting it wrong stalls the project. Second, and more permanent, a mature tree damaged during construction often dies a year or two later, long after the crews have gone, and a decades-old tree cannot be replaced in a lifetime.
Most construction tree loss is invisible at the time. It is not the branch that gets cut, it is the root zone compacted by equipment or severed by a trench. A proper plan identifies the trees worth protecting, defines the protection zones, and specifies how work happens around them, coordinated with certified arborists where a project calls for it. You keep the trees and you keep the permit on track.
Protection that holds up on paper and on site.
The plan that satisfies the ordinance and actually keeps trees alive through the build.
Tree Inventory
Identifying and locating the significant and protected trees on the site, including those near the property line.
Protection Zones
Defining critical root zones and tree protection areas, and how they are fenced and respected during work.
Construction Protocols
How work happens around protected trees, from equipment access to trenching, to avoid hidden root damage.
Ordinance Compliance
Prepared to meet local tree ordinance and permit requirements, so the plan clears review.
Identify, protect, document.
A plan that works for the permit office and for the trees themselves.
Inventory the Trees
We locate and assess the significant trees on and near the site, coordinating certified arborists where needed.
Define Protection
We map critical root zones and protection areas, and specify how they are fenced and preserved.
Set the Protocols
We document how construction happens around the trees to avoid the hidden damage that kills them later.
Meet the Requirement
The plan is prepared to satisfy the local ordinance and clear permitting, coordinated with the full set.
For wooded lots and tree-ordinance jurisdictions.
Homeowners on wooded or established lots protect the mature trees that make the property special. Builders and contractors get a compliant tree protection plan that clears permitting, without navigating the ordinance themselves. We coordinate certified arborists where a project needs that expertise.
Prepared by a licensed builder, arborist-coordinated.
Daydream prepares tree protection plans and coordinates certified arborists where a project requires that assessment, so the plan protects trees and satisfies the code. View all credentials
