This property owner did not notice any warning signs of tree decline on their own.

The property owner called Seattle Tree Care for pruning of a cherry tree. While on site, the Arborist noticed a fungus growing on an Exceptional Western Hemlock in the backyard. Knowing the growth of this fungus indicated rot, Seattle Tree Care called us to perform a Tree Risk Assessment. The assessment concluded that the tree was in early stage decline. Based on its proximity to the home and other structures, it was designated a high risk. ABC Herron Tree wrote an Arborist Report for submission to the Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections to secure a Hazardous Tree Removal Permit. The permit was approved and Seattle Tree Care performed the safe removal of this tree before it caused damage to any people or property.
