Trees in an urban environment offer countless environmental benefits. They also add an aesthetic beauty. Yet, trees age and may be overtaken by disease or infestation. If you have any doubts about its condition, you need to contact a tree removal service. In Asheville NC, the initial step may well be a risk assessment of the tree in question.
Before Removing a Tree
An urban canopy is extremely important to the environment. In Asheville NC, calling in a tree removal service can disturb the balance, affect other plant growth and have a negative impact on the overall appearance of the landscape. To decrease the chance of any errors occurring many homeowners ask for a risk assessment.
What is a Tree Risk Assessment?
A certified arborist is the only individual who is qualified to assess tree risks. She or he arrives at the property. The object is to evaluate the tree systematically and thoroughly. The arborist follows a specific plan:
- He or She examines the tree closely
- S/he looks for any indications of disease or insect infestation that may negatively impact the tree and increase the risk of creating issues
- The tree is also examined for any signs of old, weak, defective or weak twigs, branches or limbs.
- The root is looked at to see whether it exhibits any form of structural decay.
In the end, the arborist will decide whether this tree on an Asheville NC property is a candidate for remedial services or pruning or should be turned over to a tree removal service.
