FOR CONTRACTORS

Hand It Off. Keep Your Schedule.

Pool builders and general contractors: we install City-required tree protection hoarding to spec so your crew can stay on the work you’re paid for.

What we take off your plate

The fencing, done to spec.

  • We read the requirements: your permit conditions, the arborist’s Tree Protection Plan, and the municipality’s detail.
  • We build the right barrier: framed snow fence or plywood hoarding, at the height and setback the City requires.
  • We mount the sign the City requires, where the City wants it.
  • Repairs and removal are available, priced separately, if you’d rather not tie up your crew.

Why it matters

The rules change at the City line.

Toronto’s standard is 8′ plywood. Markham wants ¾” plywood screwed, not nailed. Burlington wants snow fence on a 2×4 frame with supports outside the zone. Vaughan can require heavy-duty hoarding. If you work across municipalities, getting each one right takes time.

FAQ

Contractor FAQ

Do you work across the GTA and Niagara?

Yes. We install across Toronto, Peel, Halton, York, Durham, Hamilton and Niagara.

Can you build plywood hoarding?

Yes. We build whatever the City requires, including 4′ and 8′ plywood hoarding.

Can you handle removal at the end of the job?

Yes, after Forestry sign-off, priced separately.

Do you build to the arborist report?

Yes. We build what the arborist report states: the protection zones, the barrier type and any extra measures it calls for. Where the report asks for more than the City minimum, we build to the report.

Can you recommend an arborist?

Yes. If your permit needs an arborist report or Tree Protection Plan and you don’t have one yet, tell us when you get in touch and we’ll recommend an arborist.
