Tree Assessments
Every job starts here
Every customer interaction begins with an assessment. Our recommendations come directly from what the assessment finds, and sometimes the recommendation is that no work is needed at all.
Types of assessment
- Tree risk: how likely your tree is to fail, what would happen if it did, and how to mitigate the likelihood and consequences of failure.
- Tree health: what is stressing your tree and how that stress can be reduced.
- Root health (advanced): a closer look at the root system and root zone.
- Soil analysis (advanced): testing the soil your tree depends on.
When should you get one?
- Your tree was recently damaged in a storm.
- You're worried about the risk your tree poses to people or property.
- You've noticed mushrooms, fungi, excessive deadwood, or a wound on your tree.
- Your tree's crown looks thinner than it did in previous years.
- There has been recent construction anywhere near your tree.
- You're planning construction anywhere near the tree.
What an assessment tells you
- Overall tree risk: the chances of different types of failure, their consequences, and how to mitigate them.
- Overall tree health: every stressor we identify and how to address it.
- Recommendations based on what we actually observed.
- A record of your tree's history and present condition.
You'll receive a digital summary of your tree's assessment.
