If your project requires a Tree Preservation Plan or Tree Protection Fencing to meet municipal bylaw requirements, we connect you with qualified consulting arborists who prepare compliant plans and oversee on-site protection measures for construction and development projects across Toronto and the GTA.
Toronto Tree Services connects property owners, builders, and contractors with qualified consulting arborists who provide Tree Preservation Plans (TPP) and tree protection fencing for construction and renovation projects across Toronto, the GTA, and surrounding areas of Southern Ontario.
Many municipalities require a Certified Arborist Report and a Tree Preservation Plan before issuing development or demolition permits. The arborists you are matched with assess tree condition, define protection zones, and prepare documentation designed to meet typical municipal bylaw requirements.
Tree protection fencing and on-site measures help prevent root damage, soil compaction, and accidental injury to trees during construction, excavation, or material staging.
A free initial scope call is available to confirm what your project requires and whether arborist reports, tree protection fencing, or permit documentation are needed.
A Tree Preservation Plan (TPP) is a professional site document that identifies trees on a property and outlines how they will be protected during construction or renovation. It shows tree locations, recommended protection zones, and practical measures to prevent damage to roots, trunks, and canopies.
Tree preservation and protection standards follow guidance published by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA).
Tree protection fencing is a physical barrier installed to keep construction activity away from sensitive tree areas, especially root zones. It helps prevent soil compaction, root cutting, equipment impacts, and material storage around trees.
Scope varies based on municipality and project type.
The purpose of the plan, permit needs, and project goals are confirmed to ensure the correct documentation is prepared.
Tree condition, access routes, excavation zones, and staging areas are reviewed to identify which trees require protection.
A clear Tree Preservation Plan is prepared for submission and on-site use.
If required, fencing can be installed according to the approved protection zones.
Many municipalities require Tree Preservation Plans before issuing construction or demolition permits. Toronto permit guidance is available here: City of Toronto Tree Protection Rules. Provincial forestry information is available at Ontario Trees and Forests.
If preservation planning is required alongside arborist reports or tree removal, your consulting arborist will outline the correct compliance path.
Tree Preservation Plans and tree protection fencing are available across Toronto, the GTA, and surrounding communities. View Service Areas.
