Insurance companies request arborist reports after storm damage. Lawyers need expert witnesses for tree-related legal cases. Architects and landscape designers consult arborists during project planning to preserve existing trees.

Our Consulting Process

Every consulting engagement starts with understanding your specific needs and goals. We listen carefully to your concerns and questions before we ever look at a tree. Then we conduct a thorough on-site evaluation using industry-standard assessment methods. We examine tree structure, check for diseases and pests, evaluate root systems, and consider site conditions.

Our arborists document everything thoroughly with detailed notes, measurements, and photographs. We use this information to create comprehensive written reports that explain our findings in clear language. Technical terms are defined, risks are quantified, and recommendations are specific and actionable. You get professional documentation you can share with contractors, insurance companies, lawyers, or other parties.

We remain available after delivering your report to answer questions and clarify recommendations. If you decide to move forward with tree work based on our consultation, our team can handle it. Our tree health programs implement long-term care plans, while our removal services address hazardous trees we identify.

Tree Risk Assessment

Tree risk assessment is one of our most requested consulting services. This process evaluates the likelihood that a tree or branch will fail and cause damage to people or property. Risk assessment follows standardized protocols developed by tree care professionals and provides objective ratings you can use for decision-making.

We look at tree defects like cracks, decay, weak attachments, and root problems. We consider targets like homes, cars, walkways, and other things the tree could hit if it falls. We evaluate the likelihood of failure based on tree condition and environmental factors like wind exposure. The result is a clear risk rating with specific recommendations to mitigate identified hazards.

Risk assessments are especially valuable before hurricane season, after storms, or when trees show visible problems. Property owners, insurance companies, and HOAs use these reports to prioritize tree work and document due diligence. Regular risk assessments help you stay ahead of problems and reduce liability exposure.
