Health and safety inspections are designed to identify and mitigate hazardous conditions where large trees are present. It’s common knowledge that some tree species are more susceptible to failure than others. Early detection of structural defects, including bark & soil pathogens, root disease, pest infestations, soft tissue, decay and nutrient deficiency can play a large role in hazard prevention along with maintaining a safe and beautiful landscape environment. An Air Spade can be used to inspect the root system of a tree with no damage to the tree. A resistograph is another useful tool to determine if trees have internal cavities or decay and can actually map the extent of decay. Arbortech can provide a hazardous prevention plan designed specifically to meet your properties’ needs. Please contact our office if you would like more information.
