Got Trees? Why You NEED a Regular Tree Inspection!

A tree inspection identifies possible issues, including hazards, that can help you address your trees' health, safety, and beauty.

Consider all the aspects of your life that require an inspection or regular checkup: your health, your vehicle, your home, your teeth, your favourite restaurant. Regular checkups are vital to helping prevent potential problems or dangers that could at best be costly to repair or cause irreparable damage, injury, or even the unthinkable. This applies to the trees on your property, too.

We have a basic formula taking into account a cost per linear inch which can give a rough idea of costs without needing a site visit.

Healthy Tree Management = Douglas Fir Bark Beetle Management

Effective, healthy tree management means effective management of the Douglas Fir Bark Beetle.

For the past many years, one of the biggest threats to the health of Columbia Valley forests has been the Douglas Fir Bark Beetle.

Bark beetles attack trees under strain, during periods of drought, for instance, and bore holes in the bark of the stressed trees. Where a healthy tree can fend off the attack by oozing pitch into the holes to force the beetle out, the drought-stressed tree cannot produce an adequate amount of pitch to fight off the little devils.
