Are your trees safe? Do you know what to look for and how to determine how safe they really are? Unless you've been educated in the field of Arboriculture, you're not likely to pick up on some of the more subtle signs that your trees are showing to indicate problems.
I recently attended a refresher course at the Morris Arboretum in Philadelphia. We discussed recent research, decay issues, formulas & techniques for evaluating hazardous trees, & the importance of maintaining written records of observations for ongoing monitoring. We also had time to walk the grounds of the Arboretum and perform practice evaluations on several different trees.
There is much more involved in determining the safety rating of a tree than most property owners realize. This is something that can greatly reduce the risk of property damage, the well being of passer-by's, & legal liabilities of the property owner. As a Certified Arborist, I take Hazard Evaluations very seriously and feel obligated to bring potential risk factors to my clients attention whenever I spot something on my own while visiting my client's properties.
If you notice cracks, splits, decay, or anything else on your trees that doesn't look normal, call us today for a FREE Tree Care Evaluation!
