Tree Protection Plans in Marin, Sonoma, and Napa Counties

Urban Forestry Associates, Inc. prepares tree protection plans for development and construction projects. These plans are often required by local jurisdictions to reduce impacts to existing trees during site work.

What a Tree Protection Plan Includes

A tree protection plan identifies trees to be preserved and outlines measures to minimize impacts during construction. Plans typically address protection fencing, work restrictions within root zones, grade changes, trenching, and site access.

We evaluate existing tree conditions and site constraints to develop recommendations that are both practical and consistent with local requirements.

When Tree Protection Plans Are Required

Tree protection plans are commonly required for building permits, development applications, and projects involving grading or utility work near trees. They are used to document how trees will be protected during construction and to demonstrate compliance with local ordinances.

Our work is grounded in a deep understanding of tree biology and root systems. We focus on identifying realistic protection measures, while recognizing the constraints of construction and site use.

Because we do not prune or remove trees, our recommendations are independent and focused on long-term tree viability.

We prepare tree protection plans throughout Marin County, Sonoma County, Napa County, and surrounding Bay Area communities.

If your project requires a tree protection plan, contact us to discuss the site and scope of work.
