TREE ASSESMENTS |
| |
The first step in providing the proper care for your trees is assessing the specific needs of each of your individual trees and shrubs. Each tree may require its own unique treatment, much like individual people require specific care for their unique health needs. We will make assessments for Pruning and Removal needs, Cabling and Bracing, Root and Soil Analysis, Soil Nutrient Management, and Pest and Disease Control
|
In order to provide you with the best possible service, a TREEMASTERS ISA Certified Arborist will inspect the trees on your property and assist you in determining the best course of action for each individual tree. With decades of tree care experience between them, our arborists understand the unique requirements of trees in Northern California and the many conditions that may affect the trees on your property. Your arborist can walk your property with you to discuss the needs of your trees and how to keep them healthy, strong and beautiful.
Along with the knowledge gained from years of experience, our arborists use the latest tools of the trade to assess the health of your trees and the soil they are rooted in. We use a machine called a Resistograph to inspect your trees for pockets of internal rot or decay. The Resistograph works by drilling a small hole through the trunk of the tree while simultaneously measuring the amount of resistance the drill receives while traveling through the wood. When the drill encounters a pocket of decay, it measures little or no resistance, letting the operator know where and how large the internal defect is.
|
The resistance is registered on a graphical printout from the top of the machine, and willsend the information wirelessly to a laptop computer for analysis. Your arborist will then use this information to help determine the overall health of the tree.
To check the health of your soil, your arborist may use a portable pH meter, a tool used to measure the relative acidity or alkalinity of your soil, in several places around your property. Once we have analyzed your soil’s pH, we may recommend a more thorough soil analysis or another soil management option. For more information on our soil management services, please visit our Soil Analysis and Nutrient Management page.
With the information gathered by your arborist about the trees on your property, they will provide you with a detailed written estimate for the work you have requested, along with digital photographs of the trees being examined.

TREE WORK PERMITS
Many cities require permits for tree work and encroachments on public right-of-ways, and most charge a small fee for these work permits. TREEMASTERS can make arrangements with your city to obtain all applicable permits for your tree work, and the permit fee will be included in your estimate.
