Hazard Tree Inspections

What This Service Involves

Our ISA Certified Arborists inspect trees flagged by staff, residents, or routine patrols to determine whether a genuine hazard exists and what action it warrants. Each inspection evaluates structural defects, decay indicators, lean, root condition, and the target zone beneath the canopy. Findings are delivered as a clear written report with a defensible rating and a recommended action, whether that is monitoring, pruning, or removal. Inspections are logged against your tree inventory so decisions are traceable and consistent across the jurisdiction. This proactive review helps you address complaints and reduce liability before a limb or trunk fails.
