Aspects to consider before buying a property with trees on it: As you embark on the journey to find your dream home, you envision the ideal house surrounded by a stunning yard filled with beautiful trees. You can almost feel yourself relaxing in that space on a lovely day, soaking it all in. However, it’s important to hold your excitement for now. Purchasing a home or lot with mature, abundant trees comes with both advantages and possible drawbacks. Remember, all trees, plants, and shrubs need regular care and upkeep to thrive. It’s vital to consult with an Arborist to understand the maintenance requirements of the trees and to get a clear picture of the annual costs involved.
Do some research
Find out what types of trees are on the property and research information about them. Are you ready to maintain a walnut tree that will shed its seeds in the fall? People have different comfort levels when cleaning up after a tree or hiring someone else.
Hire a Certified Arborist
A tree inspection can help you identify problems before they become serious, such as disease, pests, or structural damage. A tree inspection before buying a house is crucial because it allows you to identify potential hazards like diseased or damaged trees that could fall on your home, damage your foundation with their roots, or cause other structural issues, ultimately saving you from costly repairs down the line and ensuring you make an informed decision about the property; a standard home inspection typically does not thoroughly assess the health of trees on the property. Trees can add great value to a home but only if they are healthy, maintained, and fit your lifestyle. If you’re seeking guidance on trees before buying a home, reach out to the professionals at Johnson Ops Tree Care for a tree inspection conducted by one of our ISA-Certified Arborists.
