Superior NW Tree and Shrub Care Inc.

Tree removal is a major decision and should not be undertaken lightly. Often there are less drastic measures that can be taken. Having a tree risk assessment administered by an ISA certified arborist is highly recommended. To properly perform, an arborist must have an extensive background in biology, tree mechanics, and tree structure that is equal parts academic and field knowledge. It takes years of study to recognize and correctly diagnose the subtle signs trees exhibit before their failure, whether it be partial or total. The process begins with a visual inspection which is followed up as necessary with soundings, core testing, and/or other detection means. Each tree is examined and evaluated according to several factors including species type, size, vigor, injuries present, root and grade disturbance, deadwood, location and extent of decay, stem taper, exposure, and targets that are at risk. Our senior arborist is a Certified Tree Risk Assessor, one of a handful worldwide. Please call us today.
