To the great tree-loving fraternity we belong. We love trees with universal and unfeigned love, and all things that do grow under them or around them - the whole leaf and root tribe. ~Henry Ward Beecher
Trees outstrip most people in the extent and depth of their work for the public good. ~Sara Ebenreck, American Forests
Diagnostics and Evaluation
Arbor Doctor specializes in preservation and evaluation of existing trees and shrubs. We spend thousands of hours in seminars and continuing education to provide you with the most up to date information. Often we can spot developing problems such as girdling roots, decay, structural weakness, stress, or insects and disease before you even notice. We also use specialized diagnostic tools such as the Air Knife which allows us to uncover, inspect, diagnose, and correct otherwise inaccesible but critical root zone situations. For pro-active diagnostics and evaluation, call the Arbor Doctor today!
ROOT COLLAR EXCAVATION
Examination of the underground portions of the tree root collar and nearby root system using the air knife to excavate soil without damaging roots. Allows for physical examination of the root flare, physical examination of otherwise hidden defects, correction of girdling roots, and correction of planting depth problems which can lead to long-term tree failure (95% of landscape trees are planted too deep).
