Healthy Trees- Sustainable LandscapeASLA National Conference 2008;Introduction;Session Overview;“If someday we are to know everything there is to know about the above ground portion of the tree, we will still only know…” Dr. Alex Shigo US Forest Service;“…half the story!”;Healthy Trees start with Healthy Roots- “Myth Busters”;15” Honey Locust: root radius = 34 feet Another root myth debunked ;Why did we need new methods?How do we find them?;Healthy Trees in construction come from teamwork and begin at the Design TableWho do you invite to your Table?;;;5 years later… “Are we Sustainable yet?”;“Where are the roots?”;Document findings and prepare recommendations for design modification.;Proposed US Capitol Security BollardsAssess impact and determine alternate design construction procedures;Root Investigative Study ReportObjectives: Determine growth characteristics of representative tree species in Loudoun County, VA by means of investigative digging in representative species, soils and hydrological regime. The results of this Study are used to determine strategies in design and construction as well as prescribe appropriate protection measures stress reduction therapies. Beginning Supersonic Airtool (SSAT) Investigation within proposed roadway selecting representative tree species:White Oak, Red Oak, Hickory, Ash.;Several locations at the Pennsylvania State Capitol South Park were identified with trees which are having potential design elements installed or renovated within their Critical Root Zones (CRZs) with potential for major impacts. These design elements are storm drain pipe and infiltration beds, concrete steps, electric site light conduits, retaining walls, water lines, and walk demolition and reconstruction. ;Construction Superintendent documenting significant root depth and location for design of grade beam.;Utilize SSAT for lowering grade within CRZs for new sidewalk;;5 years later….;Working inside the critical root zone with SSAT
