When looking for your dream house, the trees on the property can often go unnoticed. However, it’s important to consider them, as they can impact the sales price and lead to unexpected costs. Here’s why you should have an arborist inspect them before purchasing the property.

Why Tree Inspections Are Important

Trees can impact the desirability of a property. They must comply with the local landscaping regulations, or you may need to pay for tree services in the future to be compliant with the laws. Additionally, unhealthy or poorly cared for trees can be detrimental, as they can spread disease to the rest of the landscaping, attract pest infestations, or lose branches, damaging your property or harming others. Also, if there are tree roots located near the main sewer line or the home’s foundation, they could eventually lead to damage. Finally, if an inspector finds issues, you can ask for a lower sales price or request that the owner pays for tree services to fix them. 

What to Expect

During an inspection, the arborists will ensure the roots won’t damage the property, trees are healthy, and landscaping regulations won’t require you to make changes. They will also inform you about the type of trees in the yard, which pests are common in the area, and diseases to look for. Finally, they will give you tips on how to maintain the trees, including how to prune and water them, as well as how to protect the bark.
