Tree & Shrub Inventory
Tree inventories are intended to provide the basic information on the plant population of a property in order to make informed management decisions. Inventories can supply information on plant quantities, location, condition, and size and maintenance requirements. Based on this information, sustainable management plans and rational budgets can be developed for the property’s care.
Trees and shrubs are valued for many reasons. We love them for their natural beauty and for the value added to the overall landscape. The value of trees and shrubs can increase the total land value of a property by 8 to 25 percent. The problem with the cost of restoration / replacement / repair is that this approach can be practically impossible in some cases. You can't replace an 80-year-old hardwood tree. Due to practical reasons, a competent professional appraisal is frequently used in establishing the value of landscape trees and shrubs for a variety of reasons such as:
- Longevity
- Potential risk or hazards
- Monetary value
- Insurance property claims
- Environmental changes
- Damage by construction equipment
- Real estate assessments
- Nursery stock inventory for purchase or sale of businesses
