How to put a monetary value on a tree.

The process is rather straight forward. Input X measurements into spreadsheet and consult ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) guidelines for tree species rating, location, etc. What distinguishes our ability to diagnose and offer an accurate assessment is the three generations of Greers in the industry and near daily contact with tree species of all kinds, giving us the ability and authority to recognize the many nuances of tree health and value.

As to who might be in need of a monetary value of a tree? Plenty of people. Maybe you’re in a property dispute with your neighbor and need to know how much to be compensated because they cut one of “your” trees down. If you’re selling your property and need an accurate estimation of it’s worth, having old or aesthetically pleasing trees that contribute to the property’s overall value, you might need us. Are you a golf course owner with old, tall, and beautiful conifers and have you been notified that the state is exercising eminent domain to expand the highway? You should call us.

Did a car hit the tree grandma planted on your family property ages ago? Well that tree not only adds aesthetic value to your property, it has sentimental value and that’s important in submitting a report to the driver’s insurance. Did your neighbor’s goats escape their pin again but instead of wandering around his property, ventured onto yours and decided to chew up your income producing blueberries? Yep. We can help you with that one too.
