The GLN Method

  1. The Tree Survey
    With our Tree Inventory and Assessment of all the Trees on and adjacent to your site we gather all the tree locations, measurements, and information required..
     
  2. Preliminary Planning and Coordination
    Through drafted plans of the existing trees and individual TPZ areas, with our preliminary plans and consultation through the design your team can easily and effectively minimize the impact to tree protection zones and canopy areas on the site.  
     
  3. Encroachment Analysis and Impact Mitigation
    Analysis of each proposed tree protection zone encroachment to occur from your development as well as impact mitigation recommendations tailored to your tree and its' proposed construction impact. 
     
  4. Final Report and Tree Protection Plan Preparation
    Containing all of the tree data collected, the encroachment analysis, and the impact mitigation recommendations, your final Arborist Report and Tree Protection Plan package will more than meet the requirements of your City. 
    Our Final Arborist Report and Tree Protection Plans are delivered to you electronically in a single packaged pdf file for ease of online submission to your municipality.  We also include our CAD file of your Tree Protection Plan for ease of final layer coordination with other consultants on your team, and copies of the individual drawings in pdf for ease of printing and addition in your construction drawing set.
