In Re: Arborist letter
To Whom it May Concern:
Upon inspection of the property,I found a Live oak tree that needs to be removed.The tree
is growing extremely close to the foundation of the house. There is a high risk the that if the tree
is not removed,it will cause extensive damage to the side of the garage.There is no way to mitigate
the risk below high. The target area for damage is the driveway, foundation of the garage and the
siding on garage. It is inevitable that the tree will impact these features of the home. There is no
way possible to correct the situation without removing the tree. the tree poses an unnecessary risk
to the person or property and should be removed.
If you have any questions or concerns,please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
Joe Musgrove
