Tree Protection Supervision in Coquitlam

Coquitlam's active development on Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau means tree protection conditions on permits are common, and the City's tree management bylaw often expects proof those conditions were followed. Root Down supervises construction near retained trees on Coquitlam sites and delivers the documentation the City asks for.

Permits & Bylaws in Coquitlam
