INTRODUCTION

In October 2017, Ian Johnston, Senior Consulting Arborist with Davey Resource Group, in association

with Arthur Lierman Landscape Architecture, undertook an assessment of the existing trees with

respect to tree health, structure and preservation for the City of London 2020 Infrastructure Renewal

Program Contract #12 – Highway Avenue and Lambeth Avenue. The area assessed includes

Highway Avenue and Lambeth Avenue, from Wharncliffe Road South to Edward Street. An inventory

and an assessment of the existing trees were undertaken with consideration of the scope of work

including the replacement of storm sewers, sanitary sewers, watermain and water services, and

roadway reconstruction including the replacement of asphalt road, concrete curb and gutter, and

concrete sidewalks.

TREE PROTECTION AND REMOVAL

Trees to be retained and to be removed were determined based on tree health and structural criteria

(see Tree Assessment Codes), a detailed site inspection (see Tree Inventory and Assessment Charts

T.1 - T.5), and the installation requirements for the road works. Spriet Associates supplied the site

plans showing all existing tree and vegetation locations (see Tree Inventory Photographs and Tree

Preservation Plans TP.1 - TP.5 for tree identification numbers and locations). An extensive review of

the proposed site grading was undertaken which included consultations with the project engineer.

No construction, stockpiling or heavy equipment will be permitted beyond the construction limit (see

Tree Protection Fence Detail TPF.1). All tree related activities including pruning and removals within

the construction area will be carried out by certified arborists who will ensure adjacent trees, to be

retained, are not damaged (see Construction Process Requirements). Trees to be removed have been

indicated with an appropriate symbol as shown on the Tree Preservation Plans TP.1 - TP.5.

Construction project potential impacts to trees:

1. Physical damage to branches, trunks, and roots of trees to be retained.

2. Local moisture loss which may result from a decline in the water table during and after

construction.

3. Compaction of soil in or near root zones.

SUMMARY

The above recommendations are established to enhance the survival of the trees to be retained. While

it is preferred and positive to retain as many trees as possible, some trees that are in poor condition,

are unsafe, are an undesirable species, or are in conflict with the proposed construction activity,

cannot and should not be saved. This project may or may not have trees requiring removal.

REQUIREMENTS

The successful survival of the trees to be retained on site is largely dependent on adhering to the

following requirements:

A. Construction Process Requirements

1. Prior to tree removal operations, all removals will be clearly marked (i.e. all trees

designated for removal to be marked with spray paint).

2. Care will be taken during the removals to avoid damaging the branches, trunks, and roots

of nearby trees to be retained. Where possible all trees are to be felled into the construction

zone to minimize impacts to adjacent vegetation.

3. Where the potential exists for soil compaction and root damage, a 100mm (4in.) min.

thickness protection layer of wood chips covered by 19mm (3/4in.) thick plywood will be

installed over the root zone. Alternatives to using plywood, such as interlocking steel plates

or plastic ground protection mats, may be installed over the wood chips. This process is

necessary when construction activities cannot be excluded from root zones.

4. Where the potential exists for damage to tree trunks, a layer of (2in.x4in.x8ft. min.) wooden

cribbing encircled with wire shall be used to protect the tree from incidental contact by large

construction equipment (see Tree Trunk/Bark Protection Detail TTP.2).

5. Broken branches on trees to be retained will be properly pruned by a certified arborist as

soon as possible after the damage occurred.

6. Tree Protection Fencing will be installed under the supervision of a certified arborist and

maintained for the duration of the construction project (see Tree Protection Fence Detail

TTF.1). If the Tree Protection Fencing is required to be removed for sidewalk or curb

installation, it shall be replaced by the contractor immediately before commencing further

works.

When the Tree Protection Zone contains turf grass, a one metre wide opening shall

be made in the backside (adjacent to the public sidewalk or the private properties)

of the Tree Protection Fence, to allow the adjacent residents access with a mower

to cut the grass.

Leave all Tree Protection Fence in place until all construction work is

completed, including sodding.

7. No movement of equipment, construction activity, grade changes, surface treatment,

excavations or dumping of solvents, gasoline, etc. is permitted within the Tree Protection

zone (the Tree Protection Zone is the area inside the Tree Protection Fencing).

8. Where the roots of protected trees would be damaged by mechanical excavation, non-

invasive digging by hand, air excavation tool or hydro-vacuum equipment will take place.

Hydro-vacuum equipment must be operated as follows, to prevent root damage:

Page 4: TREE ASSESSMENT REPORT - london.ca · minimize impacts to the trees. Tree wells, retaining walls or other site features will be utilized. 12. Avoid running above ground and underground

3

Maximum operating pressure 900psi until roots show, then 300-400psi to remove

soil around and under roots.

Water not aimed directly at roots.

Minimize contact with roots, keeping 150mm (6in.) away as much as possible.

This work is to be supervised by a certified arborist.

9. Once an adequate size of hole has been excavated by one of the non-invasive methods,

exposed roots need to be kept damp and protected from sun and wind until construction

work is complete. Back filling of the hole shall take place as soon as possible. Roots that

inhibit access of the hole for work activities may be pruned, only as needed, to access and

complete the work; this work is to be completed or supervised by a certified arborist.

10. Where installation of storm Private Drain Connections (PDCs), water services and curb

stops by open-cut methods will adversely affect tree roots, the contractor will install new

services by trenchless methods (ie. boring and / or hydro vacuum truck excavating), at

locations directed by the Contract Administrator (Note: see hydro-vacuum instructions in

item #8).

11. Sanitary PDCs are no longer required to be directional drilled/trenchless method under or beside trees. The connections in this situation, where two metres back of curb is unattainable, will be made at the EOP (Edge Of Pavement) instead, avoiding any contact with tree roots.

12. If grade changes are required in areas adjacent to trees to be retained, hand tools are to be

used over tree roots (to prevent damage to roots), in the areas below the tree’s canopy,

right out to the drip line. Where grade change significantly encroaches on a tree’s root

system, a retaining wall or a tree well may be required. A certified arborist is to be

consulted for direction in these situations.

13. For all boulevard trees 100mm in diameter (measured at 1.4m above ground) and larger, a

Plywood Boulevard Soil Retainer must be installed to assist in retaining moisture within the

soil (see Plywood Boulevard Soil Retainer Detail PSR.3). Install it immediately following the

removal of existing curbs. Leave the Plywood Boulevard Soil Retainer in place until

immediately before the installation of the new curbing.

14. Hand forming of curbs is to take place adjacent to all boulevard trees 100mm in diameter

(measured at 1.4m above ground) and larger, for a minimum distance of three metres in

both directions from the tree trunk.

15. All excavated areas adjacent to trees to be retained will be adequately backfilled with a

native soil substrate layer and a topsoil top layer, and then gently compacted, just to

eliminate air pockets. Original grades and conditions are to be replicated as much as

possible.

Page 5: TREE ASSESSMENT REPORT - london.ca · minimize impacts to the trees. Tree wells, retaining walls or other site features will be utilized. 12. Avoid running above ground and underground

4

16. Final site grading will ensure that surface water is discharged from the site and the existing

soil moisture conditions are maintained.

17. Trenchless methods to be used when sanitary and storm PDCs and water services travel

through root systems. Curb stop and service connections to be excavated utilizing

hydrovac equipment when in root zones.

18. Minimal root pruning to be carried out to allow access, by construction workers, into the

excavations to carry out their work.

19. Curb stops within 3 m of tree trunks are to be moved to a different location, to avoid major

damage to tree roots and possible loss of the tree.

20. Leave the existing concrete sidewalk in place, a minimum of two panels either side of trees

100mm in diameter (measured at 1.4m above ground) and larger. Reusing the existing

base material of the existing sidewalk should be a priority in order to avoid/minimize

damage to roots.

21. A strategy to minimize root damage during sidewalk installation is the use of an alternative

sidewalk construction method. See Section B. Sidewalk Construction Requirements.

22. Exhaust from running vehicles, which is directed at living trees to be retained, is prohibited.

B. Sidewalk Construction Requirements

1. Sidewalk installation within the Critical Root Zone (CRZ) of trees may result in de-

stabilization due to the severing of supporting roots. The tree’s ability to take up water and

nutrients will also be severely curtailed due to major root loss. To avoid such ramifications,

sidewalks in the vicinity of these trees can be built using alternative methods. The

application of an alternative method is at the discretion of the municipality. The design and

implementation of an alternative method will be the result of collaboration between civil

engineering personnel and an arboricultural professional. Using an alternative method can,

in some cases, prevent the removal of a tree(s) when that tree(s) is identified for removal

due to construction impacts only.

2. Where an alternative sidewalk installation method is not utilized and a conventional

sidewalk construction method is employed, root pruning prior to excavation must be carried

out. This necessitates the digging of a trench parallel to and just outside the sidewalk’s

excavation footprint at a depth equal to that of the excavation and to the extents of the

tree’s drip-line. Trenching is to be carried out through the use of hydro-vacuum equipment

(refer to Item # 8 under Construction Process Requirements). A certified arborist must be

employed to carry out the root pruning. This process will prevent damage to the root

sections that will remain intact within the soil between the sidewalk and the tree. However,

this will not prevent the de-stabilization of the tree, nor will it prevent the curtailment of

water and nutrient uptake if the root pruning takes place within the tree’s CRZ.

5

C. Post-Construction Requirements

1. After construction, upon the assessment of a certified arborist, deep root fertilizing and / or

watering may be required as a remedial action to enhance the growing conditions of a

tree(s) inadvertently injured by construction activities. This would include trees with

damage to the trunk or crown and damage to roots that are within the Tree Protection

Zones.

2. Avoid discharging rain water leaders adjacent to all trees to be retained. This may cause an

overly moist environment which will cause the tree roots to rot.

3. After all of the work is completed, including boulevard restoration and sod

installation, the Tree Protection Fencing and other barriers will be removed.

4. A final review must be undertaken by a certified arborist to ensure that all mitigation

measures as described above have been met.

TREE REMOVALS

The following trees are recommended to be removed. These recommendations considered the health,

structure, location, liability, and construction impacts which may occur on the existing trees (see Tree

Assessment Codes and Tree Inventory & Assessment Charts T.1 – T.5).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

It is the recommendation of this report that a Temporary Tree Protection Fence be installed as per the

attached Tree Preservation Plans TP.1 - TP.5. All excavations in conflict with existing trees to be

retained shall be undertaken using Trenchless and Hydro Vacuum methods to ensure there is little or

no damage to the root systems. The contractor is to make themselves familiar with all excavation

practices (refer to item #8 in Construction Process Requirements for more information regarding

hydro-vacuum use). A certified arborist is to be employed to carry out or supervise all tree related

activities.
