H|BC has been a leader in tree preservation since the early 1980's. We provide consulting services through all phases of development, from planning to maintenance. Our tree reports and project submittals adhere to the requirements of regulatory agencies, and we consistently provide professional, clear presentations at public meetings.
Both trees that are preserved and those that are planted are key components of environmentally responsible, green developments. We can help identify ways to create sustainable landscapes in keeping with LEED standards and the Sustainable Sites Initiative.
