Tree Risk Assessments

Trees are vital components of our environment, providing numerous benefits such as oxygen, shade, and beauty. However, trees can also pose risks, especially when they are not properly maintained or inspected. Tree risk assessments are crucial in identifying potential hazards related to trees and mitigating those risks to ensure safety. As a leading provider of tree risk assessment services, we understand the importance of protecting both people and property from tree-related dangers.

Understanding Tree Risk Assessments

Tree risk assessments involve the evaluation of trees to determine the likelihood of failure and the potential consequences of such failure. Our team of certified arborists and tree care experts utilizes advanced techniques and tools to assess the structural integrity, health, and stability of trees. By conducting thorough inspections, we can identify signs of decay, disease, pest infestations, and other factors that may compromise the safety of trees.

Our comprehensive tree risk assessments encompass the following key aspects:

1. Visual Inspection: Our arborists visually inspect trees to identify visible signs of structural weakness, such as cracks, splits, or leaning trunks. We also assess the overall health of trees, including leaf color, foliage density, and presence of dead branches.

2. Resistograph Testing: We utilize resistograph testing to assess the internal condition of trees by measuring the resistance of wood to a drilling device. This non-invasive technique helps us pinpoint decay or cavities within tree trunks, which are not visible to the naked eye.

3. Root Assessment: The root system of a tree plays a vital role in its stability and health. We assess root conditions through excavation or advanced root imaging technologies to determine if root rot, girdling roots, or soil compaction are present.

4. Risk Evaluation: Based on the findings of our assessments, we provide a detailed risk evaluation that categorizes trees into low, moderate, or high-risk levels. This information helps property owners make informed decisions regarding tree management and mitigation strategies.
