Know the risk before it becomes a claim.
A risk assessment looks at what could fail, how likely it is and what is within reach. The result is a clear rating and a short list of ways to reduce the risk.
- Priced by: Number of trees and the level of detail required
- Includes: A site walk and a written risk rating for each tree
What it is, and why it matters.
Risk is not just the tree. It is the tree plus what it could hit. A cracked oak in a field is a low risk. The same crack over a bedroom is a very different matter. Good risk assessment weighs the defect, the chance of failure and the value of whatever is below.

25Tree Risk Assessment: common questions
Do I need a risk assessment?
If a large tree is near a house or a place people gather and you notice cracks, decay or a lean, an assessment is wise.
Is a risk assessment the same as an estimate?
No. It evaluates the tree. An estimate prices a particular job.
How do I get an estimate for tree risk assessment?
Fill in the form or call or text 615-431-3789. A few photos and a rough height usually give us what we need, and we send a written price. Larger jobs start with a short visit.
