The tree huggers said, wherever vehicles are driven this has to be installed, to protect any roots close to the surface , all of the ground on the site falls under the TPO, the load mess is 4m wide, I think that’s what they recommend for most trees Edited January 27 by Stavross Quote Link to post Share on other sites
