Trees offer benefits via their beauty, function, and commodity value. Although the types of benefits conferred upon society by trees in a forest, suburb, municipal right-of-way or back-yard vary, most will agree that they are valuable items of personal property. Additionally, presence of trees may account for up to 20 percent of real-property market-value.
 

Tree appraisal is an unbiased, technical estimate of the nature and value of this type of asset. Choosing from and utilizing a variety of appraisal approaches - such as replacement cost, cost-of-cure, etc. - the experienced plant-appraiser relies on sound judgment and a thorough knowledge of a constantly evolving body of professional knowledge.
