A large Oak tree between my neighbor’s property and mine has an opening at the root base. After a similar tree fell and damaged our home, what precautions should we take to ensure its stability?
As arborists, we evaluate tree health and tree structure independently. Often a tree that appears healthy may have a structural defect that predisposes it to failure and subsequent property damage. Evaluation of the cavity and the associated decay can put this in perspective. In some cases an extensive risk assessment is required, but usually our complimentary preliminary evaluation is sufficient to make a sound and well-informed decision about what needs to be done.
