Why get an assessment
Know Before You Cut.
A tree that looks dangerous may be sound, and a tree that looks fine can hide decay. A professional risk assessment weighs the likelihood of failure, what the tree could hit, and how serious the consequences would be.
You get a recommendation you can act on, whether that means preservation, mitigation or removal.
What’s included
Consulting Services.
For homeowners, property managers, contractors, insurers and municipalities.
Level 1, 2 & 3 risk assessment
From a limited visual check to a detailed inspection to advanced testing of decay or roots, matched to the situation.
Structural assessment
Unions, lean, cracks, cavities, end weight and past pruning.
Root-system evaluation
Root-collar inspection, girdling roots, root loss and soil conditions.
Decay & cavity inspection
How much sound wood remains, and what that means for safety.
Tree appraisal
Valuation for insurance, damage and legal questions.

As Featured In
What is a tree risk assessment?
A structured evaluation of how likely a tree, or part of it, is to fail, what it would hit and how serious that would be, following the ISA Tree Risk Assessment method.
What’s the difference between Level 1, 2 and 3?
Level 1 is a limited visual assessment, Level 2 is a detailed ground-based inspection, and Level 3 uses advanced methods to examine decay, roots or the upper canopy.
Is an assessment the same as a free estimate?
No. Estimates for tree work are free. A formal consultation or written assessment is a professional service, and we’ll explain the scope and cost before booking.
