Client Needs and Assessment Goals

The homeowner was concerned about the health and stability of several large trees on their property, specifically those showing signs of decay, structural problems, and pest infestations.

Maintaining the property’s ecosystem was essential to the client, who wanted to ensure the infected plants were managed to prevent harm to other trees and plants.

Certified Arborist Visit: Tree Health Assessment in Goshen, KY

New Leaf Tree Service’s certified arborist began with a comprehensive assessment of the property’s trees, using specialized climbing equipment, bucket lifts, and measuring tools to carefully examine the 68-foot trees for decay, pest activity, and signs of disease. Each tree was evaluated for structural integrity to ensure safety and identify any hidden signs of fungal growth or pest issues.

With the client’s ecosystem-focused preferences in mind, the arborist made detailed notes on the state of each tree. Using probes and other diagnostic tools, our team identified areas needing immediate attention and formulated a plan that would balance treatment and potential tree removal.

Overcoming Challenges for a Healthier Landscape

A particular challenge was ensuring the infected trees could be treated or removed without impacting the surrounding plants and trees. Fungal growth and pest infections can easily spread, so the team took precautions to prevent contamination by cleaning tools between trees and carefully removing diseased branches. For trees that could be saved, treatments were administered to target specific infections while preserving the tree’s health.

The client’s request for a minimal impact on the property was prioritized, with all tree trimmings and debris removed efficiently to maintain a clean, safe environment. The arborist’s careful management and expertise allowed for a solution that met both the client’s environmental goals and safety needs.

Project Outcome

The tree health assessment was completed within 2-3 hours, and the client was highly satisfied with the thorough evaluation and expert recommendations. With New Leaf Tree Service’s certified arborist’s guidance, the homeowner could take proactive steps to preserve the property’s health, addressing risks and preventing the spread of infection.
