You are planning a new home, an addition, a garage or a driveway, and there is a big tree you want to keep. You have heard that construction can kill trees years later. You want to protect it now. Toms Tree Services offers tree preservation in Marquette to help keep your trees standing and healthy.
When Do You Need Tree Preservation?
Tree preservation matters before building, adding on, putting in a driveway, trenching for utilities, regrading, or any heavy work near trees.
Most damage happens below ground. Heavy machines pack the soil, digging cuts roots, and piled dirt smothers them. The tree may look fine for a year or two, then decline.
Plan early. It is much easier to protect roots before work starts than to fix damage later.
Protection can include marking a root zone and fencing it off, pruning limbs that are in the way of equipment, mulching to spread out weight, and removing nearby trees that compete.
In the U.P., dense wooded lots mean homes are often built right among trees. Wet spring ground packs easily under machines. Our short summer season pushes a lot of building into fall.
We help homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and across Marquette County protect their trees.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
It starts with you. Call 906-236-9567 or send the form with your name, phone number and address. Lucas will call you back to set a time to look at your trees and project plans.
Then we come out and look. We walk the site, look at the trees you want to keep, and talk about where machines, digging and materials will go. We suggest ways to protect each tree, like fencing a root zone, pruning for clearance or mulching.
After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure. You can start with part of the plan or all of it. If you go ahead, we set up the work with you and clean up when we finish.
How Much Does Tree Preservation Cost?
The cost depends on how many trees, their size, how much work is near them, and what protection makes sense. Pruning, mulch, fencing, access, distance and cleanup also matter.
The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee. When we give you the estimate, we go over what each part of the work covers. That way you can pick what fits your trees and your budget, and change the plan later if your needs change.
