Evaluación de la Salud del árbol

viernes 22 de mayo, 2026

9am-12pm

Legacy Park 500 S Columbia Dr, Decatur, GA 30030

Gratis con registro, espacio limitado

Una evaluación de riesgos de los árboles es su oportunidad de obtener una medida completa y comprender la salud de sus árboles y los riesgos potenciales que puede enfrentar. Los árboles pueden fallar de diversas formas; un arborista experto sabrá qué tipo de falla es más probable para un árbol determinado y podrá brindar asesoramiento significativo sobre las formas de reducir el riesgo de ese tipo particular de falla anticipada.

Una evaluación de riesgos puede ayudarlo a localizar árboles o áreas problemáticas y nuestro arborista certificado le explicará qué se debe hacer con ellos. Algunas de las razones para programar una evaluación de riesgos incluyen:

  • Salud de los árboles: los árboles brindan comodidad y atractivo exterior a su propiedad. A menudo, puede medir la salud continua de sus árboles con una evaluación de riesgos de los árboles, asegurándose de que se mantengan saludables y felices.

  • Riesgos del seguro: el daño a los árboles no siempre está cubierto por el seguro del propietario, especialmente cuando no está relacionado con una tormenta. Una evaluación de riesgos no solo puede evitar que tenga que lidiar con daños, sino que también puede ayudar a que su seguro cubra una parte de los daños.

  • Daños a la propiedad: un árbol o una rama caídos pueden causar daños importantes a su hogar o propiedad. Desde una canaleta rota hasta un techo o ventanas destrozadas. Una evaluación de riesgos de los árboles le ayudará a saber dónde se encuentra antes de que las cosas se dañen.

Problemas y riesgos comunes que incluyen:

  • Madera podrida o corteza en mal estado

  • Cables eléctricos aéreos

  • Copa demasiado crecida

  • Ramas de árboles muertas o dañadas

  • Ramas de árboles desprendidas o colgantes

  • Posibles daños en el techo o el vehículo

  • Crecimiento de hongos alrededor de las raíces y la base del tronco

  • Plagas y enfermedades

  • Erosión de las raíces

  • Tronco inclinado

  • Salud o daños en los árboles adyacentes

Acerca del instructor: Juan C. Carrasco es el Director de Cuidado de la Salud de las Plantas en Atlanta Arbor y un Maestro Arborista Certificado por la Junta con más de 30 años de experiencia dedicada a la industria verde.
