Pre-construction evaluation

All too often trees are assessed after the construction is completed. This severely limits what can be done to mitigate the damage. A pre-construction evaluation can describe in detail what needs to be done in order to save high value trees before, during, and after the construction process.

Tree Removal Prevention

Making a decision on whether or not to remove a tree from the landscape can not only be a costly one but can significantly impact factors, such as your home’s value, the local wildlife, and future heating or cooling costs, just to name a few. Over the past 15 years tree removal machinery has become more and more advanced. While this can lead to a safer working environment, it also leads to trees being unnecessarily removed. We are able to help property owners make an informed decision before removing a tree by providing an independent opinion on tree removal and, if preservation is possible, options for mitigative measures which will allow the tree to thrive for years to come.

Tree Risk Assessments

A Tree Risk Assessment is a systematic process used to identify, analyze, and evaluate tree risk. A Tree Risk Assessment Qualified (TRAQ) Arborist can help with decisions on whether to remove or keep existing trees. Having an independent TRAQ certified Arborist can be especially important when many different parties are involved in the decision.

Pre Purchase inspections

Buying a home can be a large decision with many unknowns. Having an ISA certified Arborist walk the property with you before buying can help a new homeowner gain a better understanding of the costs and maintenance associated with the trees on the property. Inspections can include:

• Tree and shrub inventories

• Soil samples

• Recommended maintenance schedules

• Independent recommendations for pruning and removal work

Tree and Plant Appraisal

Trees and landscapes have value. The appraisal process is used to identify the cost associated with existing trees in the landscape. This is done using industry approved techniques to place a dollar value on a tree or group of trees.

Property Evaluations

It is our intention to give property owners a well-rounded view of what their yard has to offer. Getting to know the plants in your yard can help property owners gain a better understanding of what is needed in order to best care for them in the future. Evaluations can include:

• Tree and shrub inventories

• Soil samples

• Recommended maintenance schedules

• Independent recommendations for pruning and removal work
