Construction and Trees: How to Protect High-Value Trees During Site Work
Construction activity near mature or high-value trees poses one of the greatest threats to their long-term health. Yet, with careful planning and expert oversight, trees can be safeguarded through the building process, preserving their structural integrity, aesthetic contribution, and ecological function. At Peer Arboricultural, we specialize in arboricultural consulting that integrates seamlessly with site development to protect trees every step of the way.
How to Develop a Long-Term Tree Management Plan for Your Estate
Managing trees on a large estate or historic property demands foresight, expertise, and a well-structured plan. A long-term tree management plan ensures that the health, safety, and beauty of your trees are preserved for generations. At Peer Arboricultural, we create customized, phased strategies that balance risk mitigation with ecological stewardship and aesthetic goals.
Subsurface Irrigation and Soil Decompaction: Cutting-Edge Root Care Explained
For mature trees and high-value landscapes, what happens below ground is just as important as what’s visible above. In many cases, tree health declines not because of pests or disease, but because the soil has become compacted, depleted, or hydrologically unstable. At Peer Arboricultural, we use advanced root zone diagnostics and intervention techniques—such as subsurface irrigation and air spading—to restore soil health and support long-term tree vitality.
Preserving Legacy Trees: Arboricultural Strategies for Mature Specimens
Legacy trees are more than landscape features—they are living monuments. These towering oaks, historic beeches, and specimen magnolias have survived decades, sometimes centuries, of change. On estates, campuses, and heritage properties, they provide irreplaceable cultural, ecological, and aesthetic value. At Peer Arboricultural, we specialize in the preservation of these mature trees through scientifically informed, long-term care strategies.
Modern Tree Risk Assessment: Tools, Techniques, and Why It Matters for Estate Trees
On private estates, historic properties, and high-value landscapes, mature trees are often among the most prized living assets. Yet these same trees—magnificent as they are—can pose serious risks if not properly assessed and maintained. Modern arboriculture has evolved far beyond visual inspections; today, expert tree risk assessment is a blend of biology, physics, technology, and long-term strategy.
What is Sonic Tomography?
Sonic tomography is a tool that arborists use to find decay inside trees. The technology uses sound waves to create detailed images of a tree's inner structure.
