Construction Protection

Construction in and around the base of trees has an immediate as well as long lasting negative effect on tree health. Mechanical damage to the trunk and branches are only indicators of the more serious problems of compacted soil and root damage that are often associated with construction sites. Trees with severe root injury may never fully recover; becoming liabilities as opposed to the assets they were intended to be. Integral recommends prevention as the best solution and offers pre-construction consulting to assess and recommend the best course of action for your trees.

Diagnostics

Tree health can be affected by a variety of factors and often times by several factors at once. That is why it is so important to receive an accurate and through diagnosis that takes into account the many facets of a tree’s surroundings. The arborists at Integral diagnose tree problems on a daily basis. The use of specialized equipment such as an AirSpadeTM allows us to safely excavate around root systems of trees and shrubs to perform a through inspection. Another diagnostic tool, the Resistograph, gives us the ability to virtually look inside the heartwood of trees to determine structural integrity. A proper diagnosis not only saves trees, but also saves time and money.

Tree Inventories and Appraisals

Tree Inventories

Integral inventories provide you with a comprehensive listing of the valuable trees on your property or in your municipality. Following a through inspection of the property, you are provided with information such as species, size, location and overall health of the surveyed trees. We understand that different sites have different needs and are easily able to customize our inventories to provide exactly the information needed. Upon completion we provide an editable database, which is a key component in creating long term management plans.

Tree Appraisals

Trees, like any other form of property, have a monetary value. When a tree is wrongfully damaged or killed, owners maybe entitled to reimbursement. An Integral consultant determines tree value through a systematic assessment process based on industry standards and years of experience that will support insurance claims or litigation.
