Tree Health Assessment Questions
How much does a tree health assessment cost?
Tree health assessments typically cost $150-300 depending on property size and number of trees. This includes on-site evaluation by ISA certified arborist, detailed written report with photos, and specific recommendations. The cost is often offset by preventing larger problems or unnecessary tree removal.
How often should trees be assessed for health?
Most mature trees benefit from professional health assessment every 3-5 years. Trees with previous issues, mature specimens over 50 years, or those near structures should be assessed annually. After storms or during drought, immediate assessment may be needed.
What qualifications do your arborists have?
Our arborists are ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) certified with ongoing education requirements. They have extensive training in tree biology, diagnosis, and safety. Our team also maintains proper licensing and insurance for tree care services throughout New Jersey.
Can tree problems be prevented with early assessment?
Yes! Early detection through regular health assessments can identify issues before they become serious problems. This allows for preventive treatments, proper pruning, or environmental modifications that can extend tree life and avoid costly emergency removal.
