Tree Care in Honokaa, HI

If you're looking at the trees around your Honokaa home, you're likely seeing the legacy of landscaping choices made when these houses were built. Many of the fast-growing trees planted for quick shade and curb appeal in the 1960s are now mature and showing their weaknesses. Species like Albizia, with its incredibly brittle wood, and Ironwood, with its dense, shallow root system, were popular then but are now common sources of failure. The problem is that internal decay or structural flaws can be hidden for years before a branch drops or the whole tree comes down in our humid, windy weather. We use tools like sounding with a mallet to listen for hollow spots you can't see, because what's happening inside the trunk dictates the real risk to your property.
