Risk Reduction

  • Preventative pruning can mitigate the risk of tree failure. End-weight reduction and canopy containment are good ways to mitigate risk. Over thinning and removing inner green can increase risk. 

    We have multiple ISA qualified Tree Risk Assessors on our staff and can provide formal risk assessment reports. 

  • Our Plant Health Care approach is a more holistic approach to evaluating a tree's condition and environment. Instead of prescribing excess fertilizer and treatments, we look for the root of the problem.

    IPM (Integrated pest management) is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests and their damage. 

  • We’ll assess your unique situation and provide professional advice and guidance.

    If requested, we provide professional opinions and observations in a formal report to assist where documentation is required.
