Property Health Check: Why a Tree Inspection Sets the Tone for the Whole Year
Trees play an important role as part of your property. These towering works of natural art can serve as long-term assets, providing lush beauty, shady canopies, and enhanced property value.
However, in order to live their best lives, trees need proper attention. An unseen issue, such as disease or structural weakness, can manifest into a pricey problem. Ignore it, and you’re going out on a limb.
The solution? A professional tree inspection at the beginning of the calendar year helps avoid any potential challenges, while protecting your investment and enhancing the health of your whole landscape.
What is a Tree Inspection?
A tree professional, like those on staff at Premier Tree Solutions, can provide a tree inspection in the form of a comprehensive evaluation. They take a detailed look at a tree’s health, starting with its roots, all the way up to the canopy. How is the tree’s root flare? Is its trunk stable? What about branch structure? These and other questions help provide answers to best serve your tree and your property at large. According to Purdue University, tree inspections should take place, at a minimum, every five years. An annual investment in a tree inspection, however, is a seed well planted.
Catching Problems Early and Playing it Safe
The primary goal of a tree inspection is to detect issues as soon as possible and keep your trees, as well as everything that surrounds them, safe. To mitigate potential hazards, inspections attempt to catch any structural weaknesses that may prove risky when a tree faces severe weather. Inspectors keep an eye out for decay, hidden cracks, weak branch connections, and other telltale signs. The University of Florida offers a detailed look at tree risk assessment.
Catching disease and or pest problems out of the gate can be crucial when it comes to saving a tree. Damage can spread quickly, so nipping these issues in the bud allows for more effective treatment. Professionals know what to look for, and a close examination is essential. Once major damage becomes clearly apparent, it may be too late to save a tree. Inspectors hunt for things such as chew marks on leaves or branches; holes in the bark; sticky, waxy, or cottony material on tree limbs; a thin canopy; dead branches; and more.
Letting Your Investment Grow
A professional tree inspection continues your investment in the trees lining your property, bolstering their health into the future. Inspections help promote the longevity and vigor of trees by correcting any negative effects caused by environmental factors, such as soil or root issues.
A tree inspection report provides the owner with a plan on how to best care for the tree throughout the year. This could include pruning suggestions, when to fertilize, and additional helpful guidance. Taking advised action after a tree inspection helps preserve property value. Dying trees can put a damper on property value, while well-maintained trees can often allow property value to blossom by boosting curb appeal, increasing energy efficiency, preventing real estate hurdles, and more.
