LSA’s Arboricultural & Urban Forestry Management Services
We have all seen the damage that trees can cause when they fail. It is the responsibility of the tree manager or owner to appropriately care for and maintain a tree. When failure occurs, it was usually preventable.
With LSA’s Tree Risk Assessment services, you will be able to evaluate what levels of risk your trees may pose. A Tree Risk Assessment provides a detailed analysis of trees or tree parts and their surroundings, which will enable both cities and property owners to establish an acceptable risk threshold for their situation.
LSA offers high-quality, comprehensive, and prompt arboriculture and urban forestry services. Find out what services will benefit you and your trees below. |
Tree Inventories
Did you know that most trees are protected by municipal ordinances and zoning codes? Even on private property, you may need a permit to remove or prune trees. LSA can assist you with the information you need to comply with the local rules. Do not let trees bog down your tight project schedule; the best time to inventory trees on a project site is early in the planning or design process. LSA provides complete inventory services and recommendations to keep your project on schedule. |
Urban Forestry Management Plan
Trees are either an asset or a liability. Healthy trees increase property values, provide aesthetic benefits, and sequester carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas). Unhealthy trees increase risk and are expensive to maintain. The Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) is a tree inventory and comprehensive management plan that allows property managers to reduce risks and maintenance costs while improving the quality of the urban forest. LSA provides planning and management strategies to allow for both short- and long-term planning and management goals for your trees. Together, let us get your trees healthy and put them to work for your community’s benefit. |
