Atlanta Tree Removal Company, Yellow Ribbon, Offers Tips to Protect Trees During Home Renovations

The Atlanta tree service business, Yellow Ribbon, talks about the ways homeowners can protect their trees when performing remodeling work. This includes ensuring both above and below-ground protection.



    NORCROSS, GA, August 09, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Atlanta tree service firm, Yellow Ribbon, would like to take a moment to talk about the ways in which homeowners can protect their property when engaged in construction work. This is probably one of the last things most people think about, but the effects can be dire if proper precautions are not taken. The Atlanta tree removal company says that while damage to limbs and bark are obvious concerns, especially when operating heavy machinery in close proximity, a far worse situation can occur when underlying roots are severed or wounded. The Atlanta tree service business notes excavation projects are the leading cause of root damage, particularly to aged trees.

The older a tree gets, the more extensive the root network becomes. It is not uncommon for these networks to be 20 to 30 feet away from the trunk. When this span is not considered is when problems happen, notes the Atlanta tree trimming professionals.

According to Gary Robertson, Owner of Yellow Tree Ribbon Experts, "When you have a tree that is not located directly next to your house, it can be easy to forget that its root system may in fact be right beneath your feet. It should be stressed that if a major root is damaged, this can result in subsequent damage to up to one-fifth of the root network. This is why setting up a protective perimeter is essential."

The Atlanta tree removal professionals say the rule of thumb for judging the expanse of the root system is to allow one foot of distance from the trunk for each inch of width. Be sure to accurately measure the diameter and fence off the area accordingly, as this will keep the construction crew on alert.
