Tree Value & Hazard Assessments

To fully comprehend the value of trees in South Africa, an amenity tree-appraisal system (SATAM) specific to the urban areas of South Africa is used. Our horticulturists use SATAM to determine the monetary values of trees within the landscape through a step-by-step process.

The following factors are considered during the tree-appraisal:

1. The tree species / origin	Celtis Africana in excellent condition.
2. The tree's physical condition (Condition appraisal)	Good structure and condition
3. We can also help determine weather a tree can be classified as a hazard or not by doing a brief hazard assessment (Hazard assessment)	Co-dominant stems with included bark
4. The position of the tree in the landscape and environment (Environmental contribution and amenity appraisal)	Trees add value to your property and the environment.

By being assigned a monetary value, trees can take their rightful place within the environment in planning calculations, maintenance and budgeting alongside other assets of known value.

The biggest of God's creations, we are instructed to care for them
