Terms and Conditions

INHERENT HAZARDS AND RISKS

Trees inherently pose a certain degree of hazard and risk from breakage, failure or other causes and conditions. Recommendations that are made by Southern Charm Tree Care, LLC are intended to minimize or reduce risks that may be associated with trees. However, there is no (nor can there be any) guarantee or certainty that efforts to correct unsafe conditions will prevent breakage or failure of a tree. Consulting Arborists use their knowledge of trees to examine and recommend ways to enhance the health of trees and attempt to reduce the risk of living near trees. Trees are complex living organisms subject to many environmental stressors. Consulting Arborist cannot detect every condition that could threaten a tree's health or safety--many conditions occur within the tree or below ground in the root system. Nor can they guarantee the success of any remedial treatment, assure safety, or predict how long a tree may live. Too many uncertainties are beyond their detection and control. Living near trees implies excepting some level of risk of tree failure.
