DIAGNOSING TREE
Our ISA Certified Arborists use several different types of tools to help them assess a trees health. The arborist is "sounding" the tree. Different sounds can indicate areas of decay or other defects.
CONSTRUCTION PROTECTION
Construction is the most common cause of tree death in urban environments. Under the supervision of a Certified Arborist in the planning phase of construction can help assess the potential impact to your trees and suggest modifications in plans when possible. One helpful action is to erect barriers as far from the base of the trunk as possible, or a minimum of the drip line.
DIAGNOSING COMPACTION
Our ISA Certified Arborists can assess your property for tree care issues including compaction and recommend a course of action to remedy the issues. Diagnosing compaction involves an understanding of local soil types, property information related to activities affecting the soils, as well as a thorough knowledge of tree types and common issues.
FERTILIZATION
Our Tree Health Care Programs are designed to deliver the right nutrients at the right times throughout the year. We use the highest quality soil conditioners and fertilizers that are delivered at critical points throughout the seasons to optimize the growth and health of trees.
AIR SPADING
Air spading helps improve tree health by increasing the tree root's access to air, water, and nutrients by decompacting the soil. Soil compaction occurs in urban environments during turf installation, construction, improper planting, and mechanical and foot traffic.

INSPECTING FOR POSSIBLE DECAY
Sometimes issues with a tree aren't clearly visible on the outside so an arborist will need to inspect the interior. An arborist does this by probing with a small knife to see how extensive the decay in a region of a tree is. Arborists are able to use this information along with other signs to determine if there are potential structural issues or possible increased chances for failure.
MEASURING DBH
The best way to approximate the size of a tree is to measure their dbh, (diameter, breast, height). This enables our arborists to estimate the amount needed for Tree Health Care products or pricing for Tree Removal.
