As ISA Certified Arborists specializing in urban forestry, we offer a comprehensive range of science-based services to support the management, protection, and preservation of trees in urban and rural spaces. Our expertise includes developing detailed Tree Management Plans and Tree Protection Plans to ensure the health and safety of trees while meeting the needs of property owners, developers, and municipalities. We also provide guidance on Root Protection & Encroachment Solutions and Tree Planting & Selection to promote sustainable landscapes.
We specialize in Construction Tree Protection Plans and Root Zone Protection & Preservation to safeguard trees during development projects, including Tree Retention & Removal Assessments to balance tree preservation and project requirements. Our Pre-Development Tree Surveys, and Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) Planning help clients meet the requirements of Municipal Tree Bylaws using ANSI and the Canadian Landscape Standards.
Oakstead also offers an Air-Spade service. The AirSpade tool is used to excavate soil within tree root zones without impacting tree roots. This tool can get into some very tight spaces, and can be essential for assessing root condition, or excavating trenches through tree root zones without damaging roots.
Oakstead will assist with steering your home build or larger development through the Tree Management Planning process. We provide accurate data collection, concise, high quality tree reports, and oversight of operations. Regardless of the size of your development, its always a good idea to have a conversation with our ISA Arborist out to the site before finalizing your Site Plan.
