    “these construction companies aren’t doing a very good job at gardening, we need to add more requirements and rely on then even more for the solution”

    Lol.

    Maybe you oughtta put requirements on property owners to have a certain amount of trees per acre? Pretty sure they wouldn’t hire roofers or electricians to take care of said trees, and you’d end up with a lot more gardeners doing the gardening… Just a thought :)

      This, I think is actually a good idea. Property developers frequently sling the trees in, which have been required by building regs, with zero consideration as to whether they will actually survive.

      If they become financially liable for their survival, they are likely to take a lot more care over soil prep and initial planting, to minimise long term costs.
