DocuSign Envelope ID: 984B3051- CADF- 49CA- B6E3- DDA70FA39480 <br />We at The Treeist aim to provide top quality services that meet our clients' needs, reflect up -to -date <br />arboricultural insights and techniques, and that maintain and advance our reputation in the communities in <br />which we work. Our work and advice is informed by current ANSI standards for tree care, the Best Management <br />Practices of the International Society of Arboriculture, and our growing knowledge of the trees and tree <br />problems specific to Chapel Hill, Durham, and nearby areas. We value the trust of our clients and our ongoing <br />relationships with you. <br />Craig Nishimoto, Owner and Founder <br />Map / Plant ID # — Used as a reference point on the site <br />map. <br />DBH — Refers to the Diameter of your tree's trunk at <br />Breast Height, or about 4.5 feet above the ground. <br />Measurements are in inches. <br />Removals — In a tree /shrub removal we include the <br />removal of wood and debris unless otherwise specified <br />Cost saving is typically possible if we can leave the <br />wood onsite with minimal processing. <br />Pruning — Objectives include structure clearance [C], <br />the removal of dead wood or broken limbs [D], pruning <br />to encourage strong branching patterns and long -term <br />structural integrity [S], and the raising the canopy [R]. <br />Other objectives may be included in the special <br />instructions [ +]. <br />Climbing — Climbing is our specialty. All our climbers are <br />proficient in modern, spikeless climbing techniques to <br />avoid wounding non - removed trees. We prioritize <br />safety and all employees are included in our worker's <br />compensation coverage. <br />Clearance [feet] —Approximate distance of canopy <br />clearance from obvious structural conflicts such as <br />buildings or wires. <br />Raise [feet] — Approximate distance from the ground to <br />the lowest remaining branches in a tree's canopy. <br />Codom Removal — One stem of a bifurcated trunk will <br />be removed, or one of two trees growing side -by -side <br />will be removed. Such growth patterns are structurally <br />weak. <br />Stump — On removed trees stumps are standardly cut <br />as low as possible without damaging cutting <br />equipment. To suppress regrowth of young hardwoods <br />we can apply an herbicide formulated for this purpose <br />[H], or we can recommend a good stump grinding <br />specialist (or arrange for that service) [G]. <br />Tree Support — Structural weaknesses of a tree can <br />sometimes be mitigated by installing cables in a tree's <br />canopy [C] and /or by installing steel bracing rods <br />through the trunks of multi- stemmed trees [B]. No tree <br />support system provides a guarantee against failure <br />and periodic inspections are advised. <br />Root Care — The health of trees, especially planted <br />ones, can sometimes be improved by severing stem <br />girdling roots [G], or by excavating a buried root collar <br />[X]. Air excavation of roots [AX] is recommended for <br />more extensive soil decompaction and replacement. <br />Pest / Disease — As a licensed NC pesticide applicator, <br />we can treat trees for specific pests and disease with <br />sprays [S] or micro - injection [1]. Our plant health care <br />specialist can often diagnose specific tree problems, <br />recommending preventative treatments against specific <br />pests for some tree species. Problematic vines can be <br />cut and treated with systemic herbicides safe to your <br />trees [V]. <br />Fertilize / Mulch — Specific trees may benefit from <br />fertilization [F] or mulching [M]. We often recommend <br />expanding the mulched areas around your valued trees <br />with wood chips harvested from your unwanted trees. <br />Our Certified Arborists and skilled staff are happy to answer questions.
