Safest & most cost effective methods will be applied when developing your customized recovery plan. Trees will be triaged and a plan will be created. For example, which trees need to be removed immediately or at a later date; which trees can be saved, potential costs of cure with a relative timeline to cure damage through arboricultural practices. |

| Things to be aware of during post hurricane recovery: |
|
Trees often get pruned that inevitably need to be removed due to structural problems resulting in extra costs; these are issues that would have been recognized during a proper hazard tree evaluation by a qualified certified arborist. |
|
Trees are often pruned improperly after a hurricane by unskilled/uneducated workers creating more harm to the tree than the hurricane itself caused. |
|
At times it is much more cost effective to first clear right of ways and remove hazards; at a later date reconstructive pruning and stable tree removals can be completed. |
|
Do not be persuaded into removing trees immediately. Several companies, particularly after a hurricane, are in the tree removal business and since trees can appear ominous, tree cutters often use this fear to their advantage. Many tree removal contractors may not be aware of the many arboriculture applications that can save your trees. |
|
Trees that are resting on a roof are not necessarily a hazard. They may remain stable until you are able to secure a fairly priced contract from a reputable and insured tree company. |
|
Any tree in any situation can be removed safely without further damage to structures. When a sales representative or a foreman starts making a list of the things that are going to get damaged during removal operations, it is due to a lack of knowledge or care. |
|
Do not pay for work that is not completed. |
