Advanced Tree Assessment

The Picus Sonic Tomograph is an advanced diagnostic tool used by arborists to assess the internal structure of trees. It works by sending sound waves through the tree trunk and measuring their speed, which varies depending on the density and condition of the wood. This allows for the creation of detailed cross-sectional images that reveal internal decay, cavities, or other structural defects.

A tree motion sensor is a device used by arborists to monitor the movement and sway of trees in response to environmental factors such as wind or ground movement. This real-time monitoring helps identify potential risks, such as weak root systems or structural defects, allowing for proactive management.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-invasive tool that helps arborists assess and map tree root systems. It works by sending radar waves into the ground, which reflect back upon hitting roots, revealing their location, depth, and density. This allows arborists to create root maps and assess root health and structural integrity, aiding in effective tree care and management.

A resistograph is a diagnostic tool used to assess the internal condition of trees by measuring the resistance encountered as a thin drill penetrates the wood. This allows for the detection of decay, cavities, or structural weaknesses inside the tree without causing significant damage. The data collected provides a detailed profile of the wood's density.

The Air Spade is a specialized tool used by arborists for

non-invasive excavation around tree roots. It uses a high-velocity stream of compressed air to safely remove soil without damaging delicate roots, utilities, or underground structures. This makes it ideal for root collar excavation, soil decompaction, and root inspections.
