SITE MANAGERS
with mature trees need to know the risks large trees
pose to their sites. Planning arborcare is essential
to longevity.
DESIGN PROFESSIONALS are concerned about the
vitality, integrity and usability of native trees in
a site plan and how construction impacts will affect
trees
.
GOLF COURSE MANAGERS know that trees are
important working features that control play. They
must insure the vigor of historical specimens and
think decades ahead about their developing urban
forest.
CONTRACTORS, working around existing trees,
assume responsibility for them. Tree preservation
saves the costs and embarrassment of damaged and
dead trees.
MUNICIPALITIES are under public pressure to
do more with trees. Knowing which are viable and
which are hazards provides the best long-term
investment for a city’s urban forest.
INSURANCE COMPANIES need to know the true
value of trees and landscapes. Causality losses must
be assessed accurately and “cost of cure” issues
articulated.
LAW FIRMS need appraisal services and
forensic investigations where trees and landscapes
are the focus of legal action.
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS, PARKS BOARDS, PRESERVATION
GROUPS, NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, AND HOMEOWNERS
often need professional opinions and assistance with
their trees.
