Trees can become liabilities when they pose a threat to the safety of people or property, such as when they are weakened by disease, structurally unsound, or improperly positioned near buildings or power lines. In such cases, they may need to be pruned or removed to mitigate risk and ensure safety.
Warning Signs Your Tree May Need Removal:
- Trees in poor health with visible decay
- Leaning dangerously toward structures
- Branches at risk of falling
- Root damage or soil heaving
- Storm damage compromising structure
- Interference with power lines
- Over 50% of the tree is damaged
Tree Risk Assessment by Certified Arborists
Tree risk assessment is a crucial step in understanding the potential hazards of trees. We have four certified arborists on staff who are trained to conduct thorough assessments to evaluate tree health, location, and signs of decay or damage.
By identifying potential risks, our specialists can recommend the necessary actions to mitigate or remove any hazardous trees. Our comprehensive assessment includes:
- Structural integrity evaluation
- Health and vitality assessment
- Environmental factor analysis
- Target evaluation (what could be damaged)
- Risk rating and recommendations
