Tree Risk Assessments

At JMS Treecare and Consulting our arborist is ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified and is an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist with over 14 years’ experience assessing tree risk. We are able to assess trees both aerially and from the ground. JMS Treecare and Consulting can also provide either basic visual or advanced decay assessment techniques when needed. It is impossible to maintain trees free of risk; some level of risk must be accepted to experience the benefits that trees provide. Tree owners should strive to strike a balance between the risk that a tree poses and its provided benefits.

Recognizing Tree Risk

Pest and Disease Identification and Management

Pests and diseases of trees and shrubs can cause problems that range from simply being a nuisance to causing the loss of an entire stand of plants in large areas. Each plant or pest problem requires accurate diagnosis before any treatment or management plan is considered. JMS Treecare and Consulting has over 21 years of experience with diagnosing and managing tree problems. We keep up with current research and industry insights and use excellent labs when needed to help with pest and disease diagnosis.

Tree and Shrub Planting

Planting new trees and shrubs in a landscape needs to be done correctly to ensure the future success of your plants. Tree and shrub planting includes the selection of the right plant for the location. JMS Treecare and Consulting has over 21 years of experience planting trees and shrubs the correct way, not the quick way. Let us help you choose the correct plant, and then acquire the best plants from top rated nurseries, to ensure you get the best outcome for your landscape.

New Tree Planting

Tree Appraisals

Trees and landscapes have value. The appraisal process is used to identify a cost or value associated with plants and landscape features. Common reasons for plant appraisals include inventory, tree preservation, insurance, casualty loss, income, accounting, tax, finance, and litigation purposes. JMS Treecare and Consulting has over 6 years of experience with appraising the value of trees in landscapes. We keep up with current research and industry insights in order to provide accurate valuations. We focus our appraisals on individual trees to small wooded residential or recreation area trees.

Pruning Young Trees

Stem Girdling Roots

Trees and shrubs may be weakened or killed by roots that girdle the trunk. Circling roots start either in the nursery or at planting. In most cases they can be removed, and the health of your tree restored. Removing roots correctly takes experience to not further injure the plant. Most species can develop stem girdling roots (SGR); trees most susceptible to SGR include maples, lindens, oaks, elms and pines. Signs of stem girdling root include visible root circling the trunk or main roots, no visible root flare, flat side on a tree, canopy thinning and dieback, and / or early fall coloration.
