Construction of new homes or other buildings can damage trees if special care is not taken. Even the storage of building materials or heavy equipment near a tree can kill it. The damage might not appear until after construction is complete and the new owner has moved into the structure. Every builder should know the easy and practical methods of saving trees on construction lots. Learn How to Protect Trees During Construction.

A reference especially applicable to Virginia residents and builders is Chapter 3, Section 3.38 of the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook.
