🌲 Tree Decay Test (Resistograph)
At Civic Arbor Group, our Tree Decay Test (Resistograph) service provides precision testing to measure internal decay and structural integrity without harming the tree. Using advanced resistograph technology, our certified arborists drill a fine needle into the wood to record resistance levels, producing accurate data on hidden weaknesses.
We understand that visual inspections alone cannot always detect internal decay. Our resistograph testing offers scientific evidence to support management decisions, ensuring safety, compliance, and long‑term tree health
Why It Matters
Internal decay can compromise tree stability, posing risks to property, infrastructure, and public safety. Resistograph testing provides reliable data to identify hidden hazards, helping property owners and developers make informed decisions about pruning, treatment, or removal.
