The basis of a landscape management program is a tree inventory. A well prepared up-to-date inventory will lead to more effective and more efficient management of your landscape tree population. The benefit of this program is realized by establishment and maintenance of healthy, vigorous trees. An inventory will help manage tree risk potential and provide a platform for documenting maintenance records and work Histories. A tree inventory has several basic components: 1. Listing of the tree 2. Tree location 3. Maintenance requirements 4. Identification of insect and disease problems 5. Tree size 6. Tree condition An inventory can have additional components: in fact, the possibilities are endless - it is really up to you. ArborCare can tag the trees too.

By definition, pruning is the removal of a plant part or parts for a specific reason. When trees are young, the primary goal of pruning is to provide a strong structure to support future growth. As trees mature, pruning goals change from structural considerations to encouragement of energy production and beauty. For mature trees, emphasis is placed on removing branches that do not contribute significantly to energy production, thereby channeling the tree’s energy into stronger remaining branches.

Your tree is worth something and if you lose the tree due to damage from an accident, construction impact or negligence, you may be able to recover the loss. ArborCare's arborists are trained to evaluate and assign a value to a tree.
