Why Should I Get My Tree Appraised?
Owning trees has practical, environmental, aesthetic, and even economic benefits. Tree planting and maintenance also require time, money, and hard work.
Trees are investments, and knowing their value can be helpful in property sales, eminent domain cases, and other situations.
Estimating & Raising Property Value
First impressions count, and the landscape is a big part of that. Trees add curb appeal, which can offer a significant markup on property value.
When selling a property, make the most of your trees through an appraisal. If you’re planning to invest in new trees for the future, our consulting arborists can also help.
Insurance Claims & Tax Deductions
Even if your mature tree is healthy and sturdy, it can still receive accidental or storm damage. Insurance companies usually cover trees as part of the property damage. You can use the money for cleaning up, tree cutting, and getting a replacement tree.
Our appraisals will not only help your tree’s insurance claim. You may also be eligible for tax deductions if you lost a tree from a disaster.
Legal Disputes
Tree appraisals can also come in handy for litigations. Someone else may damage your tree deliberately or due to negligence. When this happens, our tree appraisal can support your case regarding the compensation cost.
If it’s your tree that damaged someone else’s property, you will need to prove your tree’s health. Arborist reports, tree risk assessments, and appraisals can serve as evidence.
Critical Factors in Appraising Trees
Putting an accurate price on trees requires extensive knowledge and experience. Our tree experts look at four primary factors to give homeowners the correct valuation.
Species
The species gives arborists a point of reference when evaluating a tree. Comparisons will reveal both of the tree’s inherent and unique qualities. Tree appraisers consider these characteristics when rating your tree.
Physical Condition
Our arborists will give your tree a proper “check-up” to determine its current condition. We inspect roots, branches, and foliage to evaluate its health and structural integrity. Evidence of damage, diseases, or pests will also affect your tree’s valuation.
Size
Whether you own large or small young trees, their size also impacts their value. We follow industry standards when measuring your tree and use its diameter at chest height (DBH) as a factor in calculating its overall value.
Location & Landscape Position
The placement of trees on your home or commercial property also plays a crucial part in its value. In addition to the property’s location, we inspect the quality of your landscape and hardscape. The tree’s practical and aesthetic role in a space can greatly boost its value.
How to Raise Your Tree's Appraisal Value
Knowing that your tree can fetch a high appraisal value as a property owner can give you peace of mind. To achieve this, you can take specific actions to ensure your investment pays off.
Choose the species of your new tree carefully. Consider the market value, maintenance costs, and compatibility with your property.
Find the right place for your tree. Make sure it contributes to the beauty of your landscape.
Be mindful of potential obstructions such as overhead and underground utility lines. This may lead to tree trimming that goes against your landscape design.
Invest in professional tree care services. Consider tree fertilization as it can be a game-changer for your trees.
Look out for dead wood or sick branches. Tree pruning will be necessary if there are signs of diseases or pests. Pruning can also improve the air, rainwater, and sunlight flow within your tree.
Trimming your tree is also a factor in its aesthetic appeal. Get a professional tree trimmer to maintain the shape of your tree.
