Key Services

1. Tree Risk Assessment & Liability Protection

2. Insurance Savings Through Risk Reduction

3. Tree Mapping & GPS Inventory

  • Comprehensive Tree Records:
    Map and track every tree on the course with species, condition, and maintenance history for effective planning and regulatory compliance.

  • Strategic Pruning for Safety and Play:
    Ensure clear sightlines, branch clearance, and playability without compromising the aesthetic appeal of the course.
  • New Tree Selection and Planting:
    Choose the right species for shade, windbreaks, and seasonal interest while ensuring they won’t interfere with course layout or turf health.
  • Eco-Friendly Practices:
    Incorporate native and low-maintenance trees to reduce environmental impact and appeal to environmentally conscious clientele.

    By eliminating tree hazards and documenting regular maintenance, golf courses demonstrate lower liability, which can lead to significant insurance savings.
  2. Avoided Legal Costs:
    Prevent lawsuits related to injuries or property damage caused by falling limbs.
  3. Efficient Long-Term Management:
    Proactive care minimizes costly emergency tree removals and replacements.

Tree Disaster at the Masters 2023

In April 2023, during the Masters Tournament at Augusta National, several pine trees collapsed like dominoes near the 17th hole, narrowly missing nearby spectators. This alarming incident may have been caused by maintenance or landscaping work on the green that severed critical tree roots. Thankfully, no injuries occurred, as the bystanders were located just far enough from the falling trees.

As a licensed tree expert, I would investigate the work performed around the trees to identify potential risks and implement measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
