Are the trees on your property vibrant and healthy, or just not sure? Concerned about potential injury to your family or the public; or are you concerned about damage to your home or business? Consider requesting an Arborist Report that includes an on-site consultation. A detailed report that indicates species, size and health. For a more in-depth report on an individual tree, ask for a Tree Risk Assessment (TRAQ). An ISA Certified Arborist can do all this for you.
After an assessment the tree may not be a high risk for failure. Trees have many benefits. However, if the recommendation is removal, I can assist with that process. Get quotes from legitimate tree services companies, preferably that have certified arborists on staff, and ensure they have suitable insurance.
Concerned about a border or boundary tree near a property line, or a tree near the shoreline? Removing or harming that tree without proper approvals may have serious consequences.
