Expertise of wood sites for building works
Today many people aspire to live in country houses in a natural landscape. With this purpose they get sites with wood in hope after building and all landscape works to receive not only modern comfortable accommodation but also to keep trees and bushes as much as possible around the house and on a site - the main value and ornament of the bought land.
Expertise of a got wood site can answer many questions that worry a purchaser. What is the condition of the wood, are the trees healthy, will the trees sustain an inevitable intervention in conditions of their growth? Based on our long-term practice we come to conclusion that destruction of trees on a site is frequently caused by mistakes made in the building process and mistakes of landscape designing, wrong conducting of landscape works in wood territories.
Having examined trees the experts give accurate recommendations on the project, advise where it is better to build the house and barns, what kind of foundation allows to put the least harm to wood vegetation, how to lay communications and to erect fences, what trees can be removed in order to clean a place for building works and what trees are necessary to be saved and protected from all possible traumas. It is necessary to think over the entrance on a site for heavy machinery; probably you will have to construct special floorings for stored building materials in order to protect a soil cover from condensation, to define places of accommodation spaces and path zones where builders may walk etc.
Design ideas on creation of landscape elements on a forest plot frequently come into conflict with the aim of the maximal preservation of trees and natural landscape. Far not every wood is capable to sustain the planned works. Different rock structure makes the demands to change of growth conditions. It is necessary to consider changing of such important parameters as depth of subsoil waters, features of land, possible increase in pressure on root paws and direction of dominating winds and also danger of deepening of root necks of trees in the process of planned soil adding. A preliminary expertise of wood territory will allow to correct building and landscape projects before the beginning of works and to minimize negative consequences of intervention in conditions of tree growth.
Sometimes realization of the project assumes sharp reduction of quantity of trees on a site, removal underwood and underbrush; this circumstance changes conditions of growth so cardinally that inevitably leads trees to the strongest stress. It is necessary to keep such works stage by stage, carried over in time. Trees should have time to get used to new conditions and then works on creation of a park-and-forest landscape in the wood environment can be continued.
Everything told above demands not only strict expertise of a forest plot before the beginning of building works but also the constant control of works during the whole term of building and landscape works with entering necessary corrective amendments in the process of a forest plot development. Otherwise after implementing all building and landscape works the risk to loose all trees on a site, the trees over which a plot of wood was purchased is too high.
