Sonic tomography, or the use of sound waves to detect decay in trees, is a technology available to arborists to create a two- or three-dimensional image of the internal structure of a tree.
Big Tree Arborists LLC cares about the environment. Many fertilizers can release too quickly, causing leaching, root to shoot imbalance, and chemical burn. Granular applications send roots to the surface to reach the nutrients, thus exposing them to weather extremes of heat, cold, moisture, and drought as well as competing for nutrients from turf and landscape plants.
At Big Tree Arborists, we use a slow release fertilizer that mimics the natural process of nutrient availability that the trees would receive in the forest. We Inject into the root zone at 4-12 inches. This is optimal to encourages deeper root growth and provides a method for breaking up compacted soil as well as increasing pathways for oxygenation
Tree surveys shouldn’t only be thought as an official planning requirement. Every property or home owner should have a tree survey to understand the health and location of each tree on their property to make the right development decisions.
While costs can vary depending on the quantity of trees, it is a wise investment in the long run.
Big Tree Arborists understand the attachment homeowners have with their trees. The benefits and concerns increase as the trees get older and grow in size. Tree risk assessments are normally requested because a homeowner or property owner realizes that a tree or trees have the potential to cause damage to property and possible injury to themselves or others. While it is impossible to maintain trees free of risk, we are here to help you by identifying the potential risk and consequences, and offering ideas for mitigating the health and or risk, so the homeowner can best choose an option for the care of their tree.
There are things to consider when choosing whether to keep a certain tree versus the cost of removing it, as well as the cost of the loss of all it’s shade, wildlife and aesthetic benefits. Older trees will take many years, possibly generations to replace. A good Tree Preservation Plan will help to protect your trees from harmful construction practices that damage the roots, trunk or limbs of your beautiful trees.
Many factors go into maintaining tree and plant health. Proper plant health involves monitoring and using preventative treatments to ensure your trees stay healthy & increase the plant’s ability to thrive. We are able to recommend different methods of care depending on the trees specific needs.
Arborists are often consulted with when planning the landscape of a location. Planning the location and installation of each tree requires educated knowledge on the wellbeing of trees. Our arborist will work closely with the landscaper or homeowner to plan the exact destination of each tree and shrub. This includes choosing the right species, size, and placement site. Our professional team also provides advice on proper pruning techniques and fertilization.
Sonic tomography uses sound waves to help us better understand the internal decay level of a tree and to better assess the structural integrity of a tree. With this knowledge we can give a more accurate sense of the level of risk the tree represents, and can determine the best course of action to take for the tree.

We can advise of the likelihood of achieving consent at an early stage and offer advice relating to changes necessary to improve the likelihood of a successful application.
– The tree’s species based on its botanical name
– It’s physical measurement such as height, diameter
– Total number of trees within the area under assessment, with each tree given a unique reference number
– The structural and physiological health of each tree
– The life expectancy of each tree
– Age of individual trees i.e., young, mature, semi-mature, old, veteran
– Preliminary recommendations for the management of the trees
– Significance and priority for retention of the trees
– Trunk’s diameter at breast height (DBH) and crown radii for the North, East, West and South Crowns
A tree risk assessment is a systematic process used to identify, analyze, and evaluate tree risk. Risk is assessed by categorizing or quantifying both the likelihood of occurrence and the severity of the consequences. Before a tree risk assessment takes place, it is important to establish with the client the different levels of assessments, their parameters and cost. The levels of assessment are:
– Level 1 – Limited Visual Verbal Assessment involves an assessment of 1 or more trees, with no written Report. Home owners may take notes during assessment.
– Level 2 – Basic assessment – detailed visual inspection of a tree and its surrounding site.
– Level 3 – Advanced assessment used to provide detailed information about specific tree parts, defects, targets, or site condition.
Area of soil around a tree where the minimum amount of roots considered critical to the structural stability or health of the tree are located.
The answer depends on the number of trees to be surveyed and the purpose of the survey. Once we have just a few pieces of key information we are able to issue a site-specific quotation.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
