In Re: Arborist letter
To Whom it May Concern:
Upon inspection of the property,I found a Maple tree that requires removal.The tree poses
an unnecessary risk to person and property. The tree roots are starting to pull up from the ground
making it very unstable. The tree also has a hole in the trunk and visible woodpecker holes are
covering the trunk. This is a sign of insect damage due to the poor health of the tree. The tree is a
high risk and the only solution to lower the risk,is removal.
If you have any questions or concerns,please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
