Tree Appraisals
If your tree is damaged or destroyed do you know how much it’s really worth? A 50-year-old tree can’t be easily replaced. Larry Caplan can make sure that you get an accurate value on your trees whether it’s needed for insurance claims, tax deductions or just proactive planning. Larry bases his appraisals on The Guide for Plant Appraisal, 10th Edition, published by the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers (CLTA). This guide is widely endorsed by all the major arboriculture, horticulture, and real estate industry organizations when the appraisal is conducted by qualified experts.
Tree Risk Assessment
As beautiful and beneficial as they are, all trees pose some, if usually slight, risk. A Tree Risk Assessment can tell you how healthy a tree is, whether it poses a risk to people or property, and how best to protect your property and family. Whether you are worried about your own tree or one belonging to your neighbor, it’s important to have them examined before they fail. Larry Caplan is the only Tree Risk Assessment Qualified arborist in the Evansville area.
