Why You Should Hire Arborist Now for Your Tree Structure Evaluation
Introduction
Maintaining a healthy and safe landscape is crucial, especially when it comes to the trees that provide beauty and shade to your property. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, have you considered having a tree structure evaluation done? If not, here’s why it’s essential and why Arborist Now is the best choice for the job.
What is Tree Structure Evaluation and Why is it Important?
A tree structure evaluation is a thorough assessment conducted by a trained arborist to identify any structural defects in your trees. These defects could potentially lead to broken branches, tree death, or even catastrophic tree failure.
During a tree structure evaluation, an arborist will inspect your trees for issues such as:
- Broken or Weak Branches: These can pose a risk of falling, especially during storms or high winds.
- Poor Tree Architecture: Irregular growth patterns can make a tree more susceptible to failure.
- Signs of Stress: Indicators such as wilting or yellowing leaves can signal underlying problems.
- Cracks and Splits: These are often early warning signs of a tree's structural weakness.
- Root Problems: Issues like root rot or poor root structure can destabilize a tree.
- Decay: Internal decay can weaken a tree from the inside out.
- Saturated Soils: Overly wet soils can cause roots to lose their grip, increasing the risk of toppling.
Some of these issues might be visible to the untrained eye, but a certified arborist uses specialized instruments to detect deeper problems that might not be immediately apparent.
What If My Tree Is at High Risk of Failure?
If the evaluation reveals that your tree is at high risk of failure, it doesn't necessarily mean the tree needs to be removed. There are several remedial actions that can be taken, such as:
- Pruning: Reducing the weight of the tree or its wind resistance can decrease the likelihood of structural failure.
- Installing Structural Support: This can involve cabling or bracing to provide additional support to weak branches or sections of the tree.
However, if the risk of failure remains high despite these interventions, tree removal might be necessary to ensure the safety of your property and loved ones.
