The Expertise of a Certified Arborist
A certified arborist is a trained professional with extensive knowledge of tree biology, proper pruning techniques, tree health, and risk assessment. They undergo rigorous training and testing to earn their certification, ensuring that they have the expertise needed to assess trees accurately. Our certified arborist, Austin, is also an ISA qualified tree risk assessor and TCIA certified treecare safety professional.
Identifying Potential Risks
Trees, especially those in urban or populated areas, can pose risks if they have structural issues, diseases, or are growing in compromised conditions. A certified arborist can identify potential risks associated with:
Structural Defects: Arborists can spot weak branches, cracks, decay, or other structural problems that could lead to limb failure or tree collapse.
Disease and Pest Infestations: They can diagnose diseases and pests that can weaken the tree, making it more susceptible to falling or causing property damage.
Proximity to Structures: Arborists assess whether a tree's proximity to buildings, power lines, or other structures poses a potential risk during storms or high winds.
Soil and Root Health: They evaluate soil quality, root health, and any signs of root damage that may compromise the tree's stability.
Informed Decision Making
A certified arborist doesn't just identify risks; they provide valuable recommendations for managing and mitigating those risks. This could include:
Pruning: Proper pruning to remove hazardous limbs or improve tree structure.
Tree Removal: If a tree is deemed high risk and cannot be made safe through other means, an arborist can recommend safe removal.
Tree Health Care: Recommending treatments to address diseases, improve soil conditions, or promote overall tree health.
Planting: Advising on suitable tree species and proper planting techniques to reduce future risks.
