Tree Inspection Glendale AZ
Do you have a tree that reaches over a busy road? Do any of its branches wobble at the slightest breeze ? Does the tree itself appear to be shaky? These are questions that you probably would be able to answer relatively easily when trying to assess whether or not you will need either work to be done on your tree or for the tree to be removed all together. However, there are also more challenging questions to consider and likely would require a thorough inspection Are diseases growing on your tree? Are damaging insect making a home in your tree? Not every insect is harmful so you are aware, which is another reason why it is beneficial to have an expert come and assess the tree. Is the tree suffering from longstanding wounds that at this point are infected/infested with decay organisms/insects? Is there a chance that the trees branches may fall because the tree is simply growing too big? When is a tree too large anyways? Trying to gague the riskiness of a tree in its current standing is not something we'd DIY with no experience since it can lead to more serious problems if an improper assessment is made. Each tree situation and circumstance is different and you may think that inspecting the tree doesn't matter too much anyways and it may not be such a big deal. Well, we want you to know that not having a thorough inspection of the tree is simply an unwarranted risk that we would strongly advise against. Having a certified arborist can help you save money, and more importantly protect you, your property, and your tree from unintended damage.
When/how often should my tree be inspected?
We would advise one inspection every 3 years at least, or in the event you notice something that worries you. Pay particular attention to the tree both prior and after extreme weather including hurricanes, heavy thunderstorms etc.

Reasons To Get A Tree Inspection
Inspections Can Identify Infections Before They Become Serious Issues
Diseases take time to spread and intensify, which is why catching them before you have a problem is always the best solution.
Identify Damage to the Structure
This is essential to ensure that the tree continues to stay healthy and flourish and continue to grow correctly if it has not reached its full height. This is due to structural damage causing issues in the trees ability to absorb the necessary water and oxygen.
Improve Tree Safety
Through finding and identifying damages and/or disseases, an inspection will help protect any human, pet, structure, vehicle etc. that comes close to it.
Determine Watering Needs of the Tree
An inspection of the tree can also help identify how often the tree needs to be watered, which is especially useful for newer trees that are still growing in height. We would just need to know how often you have been watering your tree to this point.
Establish Soil Needs
On top of figuring out a watering routine, finding out what soil your tree needs and how often it needs it is also something an inspection can provide.
Overall tree inspections are designed to ensure your trees maintain their health and beauty and aren't about to become a major liability.

Some Interesting Facts About Trees
1. Trees are the longest-living species on the planet, never dying of old age.
The world's oldest living trees can be found in California. The state's massive sequoias and bristlecone pines are between 4,000 and 5,000 years old. The ancient Bristlecone Pine Methuselah is one of the world's oldest living trees, estimated to be 4,852 years old.
2. Tree rings can be used to anticipate climate change.
The study of a tree's rings to estimate its age is known as dendrochronology. The rings of a tree, on the other hand, can indicate more than just the age of the tree; they can also reveal the occurrence of natural calamities such as volcanic eruptions and droughts. In years of good growth, when there is a bountiful supply of resources, the ring is thick. It's thin when the ecosystem's resources are sparse.
High potential evapotranspiration—the rate at which plants lose water via their leaves—has had a negative influence on tree development in Sikkim, India, according to a study done by Somaru Ram of the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology. This type of research supports scientists in their understanding of climate change's effects.
3. Trees can help with stress relief.
Being in the presence of trees, according to study, is advantageous to our mental and social well-being. According to research conducted by the University of Illinois and the University of Hong Kong, the thicker the forest, the lower the tension, meaning that taking a stroll down a tree-lined boulevard could be beneficial to your mental health. According to study, nature encounters have also been proved to make us feel more friendly toward others. This is because phytoncides, which are chemicals, are released. Inhaling them lowers blood pressure, reduces anxiety, and increases pain threshold.
4. Trees help to minimize the effects of climate change.
A mature tree can collect and store more than 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year, while also releasing oxygen back into the atmosphere.
5. Landscapes with well-maintained trees add value to a home.
Mature trees in a well-landscaped yard can increase the value of a property by 7 to 19 percent, according to numerous recent national polls. According to a study conducted by a Michigan State University professor, the value of homes with decent landscaping increased from 5% to 11% in seven different states.
6. Trees aid in the improvement of water quality.
As it descends to the Earth, rain is slowed and filtered by trees, allowing it to absorb into the soil. Trees absorb and filter rainwater before gently releasing it into streams and rivers, acting as natural sponges. They also minimize soil erosion into our waterways, which reduces stormwater runoff and flood damage. 7. A birdhouse suspended on a tree branch will not grow with the tree.
Because trees grow from the top down, this is the case. Meristems are patches created at the ends of tree shoots by specialized cells. These meristems are where the limbs of a tree grow larger and taller. A branch will always be the same height as when it initially erupted from the trunk as a little bud since trees develop from their distal ends. However, just because tree branches do not grow in tandem with the tree's growth does not mean they will always be present; many trees drop their lowest branches as they spread.
