i had to submit a statement of loss value for a buddy, and came up with this. Actually he is a tree mentor, so the numerical figures are his. i was wondering what y'all thought of it as a basic form, and if everything was included that would be pertinent.:
Removal of 3 Lightning struck, devastated oaks near residence
$3800.00
Approximate Loss Value of Oaks:
I find the oaks to have been strategically placed in yard, perhaps more accurately the home valued and constructed to maximize their utility and presence. They seem to be quite fair specimens of the Live Oak genre, achieving 35”, 37” & 58” dbh (Diameter at Breast Height). Their health and structure previous to this seems to have been very positive. It would take approximately 35+ years of growth to replace them; but quite frankly their peculiar growth pattern and stature would be hard to replace. I approximate their fair replacement value @ $45,000 total. Due to these conditions.
