Consulting with experts can prove to be valuable. Your property is usually your greatest asset. It's important
to know as much as you can about your home and property. A Licensed Arborist can provide you with valuable
information and advice. Tree maintenance is as important as termite inspection or making sure your roof is in
good shape or maintaining your plumbing system. Failure to maintain your most valuable asset inside and out
can cause damage to your home and havoc to your pocket book.
If you are buying a home and the property has numerous trees, are they healthy? Do they require special care
or treatments? If they are newly planted, are they located where they will damage the foundation of your
home or other structures a few years down the road? It is wise to consult with a License Arborist before you
seal the deal. This simple service could save you thousands of dollars later.
Building a home on a wooded lot? It's a good idea to have a License Arborist evaluate the site and house plans.
Proper tree preservation tactics should be in place before building starts. An Arborist can give you advice
about what trees should be removed and which trees need to be protected from the machinery & activity that
will be taking place. Once that's decided you can put up protective barriers to assure the trees you are keeping
are not damaged. During the planning process you should make sure tree locations and the home location will still be acceptable 5, 10, even 20 years down the road. Imagine 5 years after building your new home you find
tree roots have migrated under your foundation, causing major foundation and/or plumbing problems. After
construction is complete I suggest you have an Arborist visit the site again. Trees can be damaged during
construction. If they are severely damaged they will die, limbs will break off or the tree could fall and cause
damage to structures and your family.
Living on the Gulf Coast, we know all too well the damage hurricanes can do. If a hurricane/storm is predicted
and you have trees close to your home (or even a neighbor's home), it would be wise to have an Arborist give
you his expert opinion. Upon inspection he call tell you if any are too weak to weather the storm. Thinking
ahead can save you time, headaches, money ad maybe your home!
