Tree Risk Assessments

Objective, defensible evaluations of structural stability and hazard potential.

When You Might Need This

  • A tree shows signs of decay, leaning, or storm damage and you need to know if it's a hazard.
  • An insurance company, attorney, or property transaction requires a formal risk evaluation.
  • A neighbor, HOA, or municipality has raised a concern about a tree on your property.
  • You want documentation on file to limit liability before an incident occurs.
  • A recent storm or construction activity may have compromised a tree's stability.

What This Involves

  • An on-site visual assessment following ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) methodology.
  • Evaluation of likelihood of failure, the parts of the tree likely to fail, and what's in range if it does.
  • A written report with clear risk ratings and practical mitigation recommendations.
  • Follow-up guidance if further advanced assessment is warranted.
When a risk assessment is required — for insurance, a legal matter, or peace of mind — there's no room for a report that has to be redone. Tree Root delivers accurate, clearly documented assessments the first time, with a turnaround that keeps your timeline on track and avoids the cost of delays.
