Insight Before Action
Why Tree Evaluation & Risk Assessment Matters
Not every tree problem requires removal. A professional evaluation helps identify real risks before they turn into costly emergencies.
Tree evaluations are essential for:
- Identifying structural defects or internal decay
- Assessing risk for trees near homes, driveways, or walkways
- Evaluating storm-damaged or leaning trees
- Determining whether pruning, cabling, or removal is appropriate
- Supporting HOAs, property managers, or insurance requirements

Tree Evaluation & Risk Assessment FAQs
How do I know if a tree is a safety risk?
Warning signs include leaning, cracks, dead limbs, soil lifting, or changes after storms. An evaluation confirms actual risk.
Can a healthy-looking tree still be dangerous?
Yes. Internal decay or structural weakness isn’t always visible without a professional assessment.
Do you provide evaluations for insurance or HOA purposes?
Yes. We work with homeowners, HOAs, and property managers who need documented evaluations.
Will an evaluation always lead to tree removal?
No. Many trees can be preserved through pruning, cabling, or monitoring once risks are identified.
