Hazard Tree Evaluation—Hazard tree evaluations assess the stability and soundness of a tree. While many trees have minor structural flaws, some trees have defects that could lead to catastrophic failure. Furthermore, not all defects are visible or readily apparent. A complete hazard tree evaluation provides a customer with scientific data and risk analysis, so that he or she can make an informed decision on whether removal or mitigation of risk is desired. We can provide the client with a comprehensive report detailing our findings. While this report can be very helpful in determining what course of action is best to take, we cannot guarantee the status of any tree. Trees always have risk because of their potential energy, concealed defects, unpredictable weather, and proximity to targets.
Tree Value Appraisals—Trees are sometimes damaged or killed accidentally resulting in loss of property value. In other cases an appraisal estimate is needed for insurance or tax purposes. We have provided tree appraisals for residential, commercial, and municipal clients. Appraisals can be presented to our customers in a professional written report.
Soil Analysis—Tree problems often begin below ground. A soil analysis can be helpful in providing more accurate data on nutrient availability, pH, and soil compaction which help us to prescribe a more appropriate course of action.
