Commercial & Residential Tree Care FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

An arborist, tree surgeon, or (less commonly) arboriculturist, is a professional in the practice of the cultivation, management, and study of individual trees & shrubs. Arborists generally focus on the health and safety of individual plants and trees, rather than managing large tracts of forests. An arborist's work may involve very large and complex trees that may require monitoring and treatment to ensure they are healthy, safe, and suitable to property owners or community standards.

There's nothing worse than when unexpected hassles completely change your plans. Few homeowners ever think about the health of their trees until one has crashed through their roof or a storm pushes it over. When that happens, turn to the company who can resolve your tree problems quicker than anyone else: Elysian - The Imagine Company.

Arborists cannot detect or anticipate every condition or event that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree, or guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances. Trees can be managed but they cannot be controlled. All work will be completed as outlined in our estimate.

Trees and other plant life are living, changing organisms affected by several factors beyond our control. All work will be performed in accordance with current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard practices for tree work, as well as Best Management Practices as outlined by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA).

Some reasons that trees REALLY have value:
  • • Reduce Energy Bills. Trees can reduce energy bills by 30%. In the summer, their shade reduces air conditioning use while in winter trees block wind from sneaking into your warm home. (Arbor Day Foundation)
  • • Reduce Stress. Spending time in green spaces with trees reduces stress and brain fatigue, which improves concentration. (The British Journal of Sports Medicine)
  • • Save Lives. Trees save more than 850 lives each year and prevent over 670,000 cases of acute respiratory symptoms by reducing air pollution. (U.S. Forest Service)
  • • Add Value to Your Home. A mature tree can have an appraised value between $1,000 and $10,000. (Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers)
  • • One Tree=$162,250. Over the course of 50 years, a single tree can generate $31,250 of oxygen, provide $62,000 worth of air pollution control, recycle $37,500 worth of water, and control $31,500 worth of soil erosion. (Arbor Day Foundation)
