Many people don't realize that their property's trees and shrubs
have a dollar value that can be measured by competent
plant
appraisers.
If your trees or shrubs are damaged or destroyed, you may be
able to recoup your loss through an insurance claim, or as
a deduction from your federal income tax.
Appraisal of a tree in a landscape situation is not based
on the value of the products the tree could produce, but on
the non-tangible benefits which it offers, such as privacy
screening, dust and noise filtration, wind protection, cooling
and shading, as well as aesthetic considerations. Factors taken
into consideration are size, species, condition and placement.
Don’t make the mistake of hiring
just anyone to place a value on your cherished trees. Docherty's
Certified Arborists
have the experience and knowledge necessary to provide you
with an expert tree appraisal. |
