Vernon Imel Tree Services’ Tree Health Assessments on the Oregon Coast begin with an in‑depth visual inspection of each specimen, conducted by our ISA‑certified arborists who understand the unique stresses of coastal environments. We examine foliage density, branch architecture, trunk integrity, and root collars, looking for signs of disease, pest infestation, nutrient deficiencies, or structural weakness. By walking each property in its entirety—from forested bluff tops to dune‑fringed yards—our team gains valuable context about microclimates, salt exposure, and soil moisture patterns that influence tree vitality.

To complement our visual surveys, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools tailored to coastal arboriculture. Resistance drilling devices gauge wood density and detect internal decay in veteran Sitka spruce or shore pines exposed to turbulent weather, while soil probes measure compaction and root‑zone oxygen levels critical for healthy root function. We also collect samples for laboratory analysis when fungal pathogens or nutrient imbalances are suspected, ensuring our recommendations are grounded in empirical data. This comprehensive approach lets us distinguish between superficial damage from salt spray and more serious threats that require targeted intervention.

After completing the fieldwork, Vernon Imel Tree Services delivers a clear, actionable report that outlines each tree’s health status, risk rating, and prioritized care plan. Our reports include annotated property maps, photographic evidence of key findings, and treatment schedules—ranging from soil aeration and fertilization to precise pruning or pest management protocols. We then work with property owners, landscape architects, or municipal planners to implement these recommendations, offering follow‑up inspections and maintenance programs that keep your coastal trees robust year after year. With our tailored assessments, you gain the insight and guidance needed to preserve the beauty and safety of your Oregon Coast landscape.
