Hazardous Tree Assessment
Not sure if that big maple leaning toward the driveway is actually a problem, or if it's fine and you're just being cautious? That's exactly what a hazard assessment is for. We come out, take a proper look, and tell you honestly whether a tree is a real risk, something to keep an eye on, or nothing to worry about at all.
What We're Looking For
A trained eye can catch things that aren't obvious from the ground — internal decay, root damage, cracks starting to form, or a lean that's gotten worse than it looks. We assess:
- Trunk and root condition, including signs of rot or decay
- Structural cracks, splits, or included bark at branch unions
- Root damage from construction, grading, or storm exposure
- Overall lean and whether it's stable or progressing
- Dead or dying limbs that pose a falling risk
- Proximity to your house, driveway, power lines, or areas people use regularly
Who Needs This
- Homeowners with a tree that's started leaning or dropping limbs
- Anyone buying a property with mature trees they're unfamiliar with
- Insurance companies or adjusters requiring a professional opinion
- Landlords or property managers with a duty to keep tenants safe
- Municipalities or businesses needing documentation on a tree in question
Why Get a Professional Opinion First
Not every concerning-looking tree needs to come down, and not every fine-looking tree is actually fine — that's the whole point of getting a real assessment instead of guessing. It also gives you something in writing if you need documentation for insurance or a property sale. We'll always tell you straight whether removal is necessary or if pruning and monitoring will do the job.
