Tree work inside an active industrial environment runs on site rules, permits, safety orientations and zero surprises. That is the standard we work to.

  1. 01Mature tree preservation near active operations
  2. 02Plant health care, injections and soil work
  3. 03Scheduled inspections and monitoring
  4. 04Safety-first crews working to site rules

Past performanceConstruction & infrastructure

Louisiana civil construction contractor

Barriere Construction

On a construction schedule, trees are either protected, cleared or managed, and each decision needs an arborist, documentation and a crew that shows up when the schedule says.

  1. 01Tree protection zones and root management
  2. 02Clearing and removals on active job sites
  3. 03Roadside and right-of-way work with traffic control
  4. 04Documentation for the project team

How we work on site

Preservation on the Job Site.

Three situations we’re called into on construction and commercial sites, and how we handle them. These are typical scenarios, not specific client stories. For documented jobs, see our projects.

Typical scenario · Construction

A live oak beside a new foundation

Problem
The site plan puts a new building a few yards from a mature live oak. The owner wants the tree kept, and the schedule can’t slip.
Assessment
We map the critical root zone, then run an air spade along the planned excavation line to find the major roots without cutting a single one.
Reasoning
Most construction damage happens underground: severed roots, compacted soil and changed grades. The roots have to be found before the excavator finds them.
Work performed
A fenced tree protection zone, clean root pruning only where the foundation crosses, arborist chips over the root zone and a soil program to regrow roots, with an inspection at each construction phase.
Result
The oak stays, the building goes up on schedule, and the project team has a written tree protection plan for its file.
Methodology
ANSI A300 Part 5 (trees during site development and construction) · Air-spade root investigation

Typical scenario · Relocation

Moving a tree instead of losing it

Problem
A healthy young oak stands where a parking expansion has to go. Removal is the easy answer.
Assessment
We check the species, size, health and access for equipment. Not every tree can survive a move, and we say so up front.
Reasoning
A tree lives through a move on the roots it takes with it. Pruning roots in stages beforehand grows a dense, compact root ball.
Work performed
Staged root pruning ahead of the move, relocation in the cooler months with the root ball intact, then deep watering, arborist chips and soil biology at the new spot.
Result
The tree keeps growing on the same property, with check-ins through its first two summers, when transplanted trees are most at risk.
Methodology
Root pruning · Transplanting · Establishment aftercare

Typical scenario · Industrial site

Mature trees inside an operating facility

Problem
Old trees on a working site are thinning and showing fungal problems, surrounded by traffic, paving and ongoing construction.
Assessment
We look for the stress behind the symptoms: compacted soil, buried root flares, grade and drainage changes, and what the site’s own operations add.
Reasoning
Treatment only holds if the stress is controlled. A one-time spray won’t do it. A program will.
Work performed
Tree and soil injections, root-flare excavation, whole-tree arborist chips and scheduled inspections, all run to the site’s safety rules.
Result
A monitored preservation program, with written reports the facility team can act on.
Methodology
Plant health care · Construction-impact mitigation · Ongoing monitoring

Experience

Trees on a Project Are a Liability Until Someone Qualified Says Otherwise.

Our arborists have supported work involving DOTD infrastructure projects, military installations, industrial facilities, municipalities, contractors and private properties.

We bring the documentation, safety requirements and coordination these sites demand, along with the arboricultural judgment to know which trees can stay.
