| Protecting an oak during installation of a swimming pool
To protect a 250 year old oak tree during the installation of a swimming pool (8 meters from its trunk), we were asked to advise all involved parties. We started manually digging a slit from the hall to the oak. |

| Patience is the key word for this particular job

| Manual labor near the roots |

We needed the slit so we could neatly cut
off the roots and not damage the tree while
the crane was digging.
Here we are applying an anti-fungal remedy.
Last precautions before covering the side
of the roots
The foil is applied to prevent dehydration.
We stay in touch with the contractors, because
there is a lot of interest in the wellbeing of
the tree. |
