Non-Destructive Root Investigation (NDRI)

Non-Destructive Root Investigation is a technique that accurately reflects its name. This investigation is particularly important for construction projects that may interfere with trees that are intended to be preserved.

 

The primary goal of conducting a root investigation is to identify whether roots are indeed present in the area of concern, as well as to ascertain the number and size of these roots.

 

By thoroughly examining the roots, we can better understand how the might be affected by the proposed development and whether it can continue to thrive as a valuable part of the landscape.

 

Unfortunately, tree roots are sometimes overlooked during construction planning, which can lead to a decline in tree health. In some instances, roots may sustain such severe damage that the tree becomes unstable and may even need to be removed entirely.

Our team will analyze all findings and compile them into a detailed arborist report, complete with photographic evidence, ensuring that you have a comprehensive understanding of how your project will impact the trees in your landscape.
