If possible, include several trees in a larger protection area. Surround the zones with sturdy, highly visible fencing to make sure the protected area is not breached, and spread mulch over the soil within it. Water the trees deeply before construction begins.

Under Sawyer’s proposal, a driver would be entitled to a minimum per-minute and per-mile amount, or a minimum trip amount of $5, whichever is greater. The starting minimum per minute would be 30 cents, and the minimum per mile would include a $2 base and a $1.20-per-mile rate. Each year, the per-minute and per-mile rates would be adjusted for inflation.
