If you're buying a home or a commercial property, you aren't just buying the building. The trees and landscaping are also part of your investment, so you should make sure you're getting your money's worth. A professional arborist can give you a lot of information about the trees on your property that will help you decide whether to make the deal.

The Benefits of Hiring an Arborist

Basic Tree Info

You need to know what kind of trees you have on your property and what to expect from them so you can plan yard maintenance. An arborist will explain which trees flower and which produce pollen or large amounts of fall leaves. They'll let you know how to take care of each tree, and what warning signs to watch out for to alert you to tree damage, disease, and pests.

Compliance With Regulations

Your city likely has rules about where trees can be planted and which ones can be cut down, and these rules may vary with your zoning. A professional will ensure all the trees on the property are in compliance. They'll also check the condition of the trees, so you don't run afoul of safety laws or liability issues because of a fallen branch or tree.

Potential Root Problems

Tree roots can stretch out through the soil, sometimes farther than the branches. They can creep into tiny cracks, splitting them open wide. This is a major problem when the roots reach the foundations of a home or other buildings, or when they infiltrate your plumbing in search of water.

An arborist can identify existing and potential future root issues. They may be able to advise you about installing a root shield to protect your property, or removing some trees if needed without damaging the rest. They can also let you know about areas that may already be damaged and unstable.
