5 Reasons to Have an ARBORISt inspect the trees of a home you are considering purchasing

Trees are living organisms and prone to diseases. While some of them are obvious,, others can be hidden from common observation (decaying starts from the inside of the tree) and only an expert can diagnose.  If left untreated, they can result in a costly tree removal.

3.Pest infestations
 Trees are natural habitat for all kinds of life to include pests. Some of these pests can be invasive and have the potential to reproduce uncontrollably (hemipteran, clearwing and flat headed borers). When infested trees are near located close to a property, they can invade and cause serious damage to structure. An expert can identify the problem and recommend pest control measures in time.

4.Trees with high maintenance costs
All flora requires attention and maintenance. However, certain species of trees need much more maintenance and care than others. A particular example is of peach tree that requires regular disease management and comprehensive annual pruning for healthy appearance. Only an expert can advise you on such intricate matters.
