Weak, decayed and diseased trees can be very dangerous, especially when they are close to powerlines, roads, pedestrian walkways or your home. It is very important to have a professional tree decay assessment done if you believe one or more of your trees might be at risk of collapse.
Graham Brooks is a highly accredited and professional arborist who has the credentials and experience to assess the trees surrounding your home, public green-space or commercial property. Most tree removals within Northern Beaches, Sydney and Australian Local Government Authorities require Council approval and Council’s requires a specific tree decay assessment undertaken to determine if the tree meets FAILURE CRITERIA in order to grant you permission to have your tree removed or significantly cut back. The Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) is an Internationally recognised assessment from the International Society Arboriculture (ISA), which is the requirement for most Councils and Government bodies. 
Not all arborists hold sufficient qualifications or have the scientific decay analysis equipment to perform these advanced decay assessments, so it is important to ensure that you choose an arborist who holds the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) level 5 Arborist accreditation, the standard which Graham Brooks has held for 15 years.
