Tree Risk Assessment

Property owners, managers, and municipalities can make informed decisions about tree safety and management with a professional, certified tree risk assessment.  Assessments adhere to the highest industry standards, combining expert knowledge with a practical, solutions-based approach.


Level 1 – Limited Visual Assessment with Summary Report

We will visually inspect the structure from the ground to identify obvious defects or safety concerns. You will receive a brief written summary with practical recommendations.

$175 per tree

Level 2 – Basic Assessment with Report

This more thorough evaluation may use simple tools (e.g., mallet, probe) to assess tree structure and health. You will receive a written report with findings and next steps.

$225 per tree

Level 3 – Detailed Assessment with Comprehensive Report

This detailed assessment includes an inspection with photos, risk ratings, and detailed documentation—suitable for legal, insurance, or other official purposes.
