Smart Planning Saves Time, Money, and Trees

Development Planning Services

The old adage, “measure twice, cut once” is still alive and well today. Helping people save time, money, and trees hinges on proper planning. Projects and properties are limited by the planning that goes into them.

From early feasibility before a site is put under contract, to full tree surveys and conceptual site planning assistance, Tree Mann Solutions knows what it takes to make a deal work and speaks your language.

While we love trees, we know they can be a massive hindrance on a site. We know trees and code. We help identify the challenges early and work to minimize them as best as possible with creative thinking and team collaboration.

Heritage Tree Mapping

Locate, measure, identify and assess the largest trees that create the most impact to site yields
Regardless of municipality, large trees of the most desirable species can create significant challenges through site design, development budget, or entitlement schedule impacts – let us help you understand the facts and make informed decisions EARLY.

Full Tree Surveys

Locate, measure, identify and assess all regulated trees on a site based on varying municipal requirements
Provide the most accurate tree data early to guide design decisions, schedules, and budgets
Measured as thoroughly and accurately as possible to not leave money on the table for the client
Data provided in manner easy for civil engineers and/or surveyors to import into their full survey

Tree Condition Assessment/Inventory

Verify size and species measurements of either all or the largest trees on an existing tree survey per municipal requirements. Additionally assess all trees within scope for condition to provide preservation and mitigation recommendations

Design Collaboration

Work with developers, civil engineers, landscape architects, architects, and/or land planners to provide approvable site plan layouts based on municipal regulations
Provide clarity and comfort that a design is feasible for approval and make design change recommendations early when it is less painful to make adjustments

Tree Risk Assessment

Level 1 basic ground-based assessments of key trees regarding posed risks to the built environment
Level 2 thorough ground-based 360-degree assessments of key trees regarding posed risks to the built environment through multi-faceted analysis of all tree parts, past, present and future site conditions
Level 3 advanced assessment methods employed (aerial assessment, air-excavation, Resistograph resistance drilling, tomography trunk scans, etc.) to provide thorough 360-degree assessments of key trees to the built environment through multi-faceted analysis of all tree parts, and past, present and future site conditions regarding posed risks

Transplant Analysis

Identify key larger trees that must be saved per municipal requirements; when those trees prove unfeasible to preserve in place, TMS coordinates with industry leaders to provide transplant feasibility reports to understand design, budget, and schedule impacts of transplanting larger trees

Tree Problems Stumping Your Project?

Whether you are assembling a team to pursue a bid, have a project that would benefit from the addition of a Board Certified Master Arborist consulting team, or simply need to retain the services of a consulting arborist for anything tree related, we are here to help.
