Tree Risk Assessments

Winter is now over and our trees are starting to grow putting on new growth and increasing the weight on branches and trunks, having your trees checked out, by a Professional consulting arborist, although some failures are hard to judge, 90 % can be detected easily and action can be taken cheaply to resolve, it’s better than having your home or car damaged or worst still a love injured after a major failure.

Prevention is better than cure when it comes to managing trees on your property, you are responsible for any damage your trees cause to persons or surrounding property, so having trees on your property comes with the commitment of maintaining them in a safe and healthy condition in our current times.

Sometimes trees that may look damaged or structurally unsafe with a defect in their trunks may still be sound, with the trees sealing over the wound. This wood, called reaction wood, in some instances is stronger than the normal wood of the tree.

To determine the structural integrity of the tree advanced assessments may need to occur, such as an aerial assessment with an Arborist using an Elevated work platform (EWP a.k.a. cherry pickers) or a Picas Sonic tomography, to sound the tree.
