Safety

Cabling and Bracing

Tree trunks and limbs can grow in all shapes, sizes and directions. Certain species have a greater tendency towards structural weakness which would benefit from a cable or brace. Ultimately, installing a brace or cable will increase the tree’s strength and longevity, as well as improving safety and value of the property around it.

Hazard Tree Analysis

We have a scientific method of identifying potential tree trunk failure using a tool called the Resistograph. This state-of-the-art tool helps assess if a tree has hollow sections creating a loss of strength. If so, it may be at risk of falling. This is especially important knowledge regarding larger trees within close proximity to a house or other property of value.

Lightning Systems

Thousands of trees are struck by lightning every year. Trees are at risk because they are usually the tallest object and their root structure makes them a natural lightning rod. If you have a valuable tree, the best precaution is to install a lightning rod system. They are extremely effective in protecting the health and value of your tree and property.
