Tree planting and removal's impact on soil
Significant trees are an important element of many home sites. They can have a serious impact on the stability of a structure over time. This is affected by the species, age and placement of the tree and the classification of the soil where the tree is planted.
In this detailed resource, you’ll learn about Australian Standard AS 2870 and its seven classifications of soil, based on their shrink-swell potential and stability. It also covers all the project milestones when you’ll need to consider tree removal or planting. These include site classification and assessment, design and completion.
It is important to have an in-depth understanding of the regulations and official guidelines provided by the relevant Australian Standard. Find out what you need to know about significant trees and residential building sites.
