What an Arborist Consultation Covers
The appointment begins with a walk-through of your property. Our arborist consultants inventory the plant species present, note their size and location, and document observable conditions across trees, shrubs, and other vegetation. From there, the assessment deepens into diagnosis.
During the inspection, we evaluate potential tree dangers, identify insect infestations, check for diseases, analyze soil health, and advise on tree preservation. We can also assist with insurance claim documentation when storm or structural damage is involved. At the end of the walkthrough, you receive a proposal recommending a course of action and a management plan built around your priorities and budget.
Tree Risk Assessment & Tree Failure Assessment
These two services address different questions, and the distinction matters for how you respond to a problem tree.
Tree Risk Assessment
When a standing tree raises concern, a tree risk assessment determines whether it can be saved or whether removal is the safer course. We evaluate structural integrity, signs of internal decay, root instability, and proximity to structures or pedestrian areas. Understanding the severity of the condition lets property owners make proactive decisions that can reduce liability before a problem becomes a claim.
Tree Failure Assessment
When a tree has already failed, we examine each section using standardized methods to determine the most likely cause. The assessment also identifies whether the underlying problem may affect nearby trees and, where warranted, produces a prevention plan to help protect the rest of the landscape.
Tree Inventories & Tree Root Appraisal
Tree inventories compile structured data on tree size, species, health, location, and potential hazards. This documentation supports long-term management planning and is often useful when filing storm-damage insurance claims. We offer tree inventories on a case-by-case basis to homeowners, small homeowner associations, and commercial properties. This service isn’t configured for larger municipal-scale engagements.
Tree root appraisal keeps you informed about what’s happening below the surface. Our arborist consultants examine soil compaction, soil depth, irrigation balance, fertilizer levels, and the impact of trenching, nearby construction, or recent digging. The appraisal includes preventive guidance to help reduce the risk of root disease and failure going forward.
