Tree inventories are designed to assist municipalities, agencies and corporations in the management of tree populations. A quality tree inventory can provide the user with an easy-to-use system of individual tree location, species identification, diameter, health condition rating and canopy crown spread. Inventories also help to identify characteristics of trees that could lead to problems in the future, which may include disease, insect damage, poor structure and poor growing conditions. Mike's Tree Surgeons, Inc. can work with any available inventory software program and perform street and park tree inventories so that the municipality can design a program that will help properly manage its urban forest resources.

HAZARD TREE ASSESSMENT PROGRAMS

Today it is important for municipalities to incorporate tree-risk management programs. This helps to ensure the safety of the public and helps to reduce the liabilities of the municipality. Hazard tree assessment often coincides with street and park tree inventories, in which poor tree health, failing structure and hazardous conditions would be evaluated. Mike's Tree Surgeons, Inc. provides tree appraisal and risk assessment for residential homeowners, businesses and municipalities.
