Tree Protection Hoarding in St. Catharines
Tree protection built to your City-approved Tree Protection Plan.
What St. Catharines requires
- City and boulevard trees are protected under Municipal Tree By-law 2017-326. Injuring or removing a City tree requires an approved application and must be done by a third-party contractor.
- Work near boulevard trees: for work within a boulevard tree’s root zone, the City’s Forestry Foreman decides whether tree protection is needed and may require a Tree Protection Plan for approval.
- The City doesn’t publish a standard hoarding detail, so the barrier is built to the approved Tree Protection Plan.

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.
