This checklist is not designed as
a complete tree assessment but it may alert you to potentially dangerous conditions that
warrant your seeking professional advice.
If any of these possible problems
are present in your tree, you should contact us. We will be able to evaluate the
tree for problems. Some problems, when found early, can be fixed. We will
inform you of any problems found and the possible remedy.

Evaluation done, contact us at 251-945-5144 or e-mail Gary at gary@ickestreeservice.com
