Ensuring Safety and Longevity Through Tree Hazard Assessment

Trees provide significant benefits to our homes and cities, but when trees fall and injure people or damage property, they become liabilities. Taking care of tree hazards makes your property safer and prolongs the life of the tree.

Trees are an important part of our world. They offer a wide range of benefits to the environment and provide tremendous beauty.

However, trees may be dangerous. Trees or parts of trees may fall and cause injury to people or damage to property. We call trees in such situations hazardous, to signify the risk involved with their presence. While every tree has the potential to fall, only a small number actually hit something or someone.

It is your responsibility as a property owner to provide for the safety of trees on your property. Our tree hazard assessment service will identify hazardous trees and the risk they present. Once the hazard is recognized, steps may be taken to reduce the likelihood of the tree falling and injuring someone.

Our extensive Tree Hazard Service looks for these common issues:

  • Large dead branches in the tree
  • Detached branches hanging in the tree
  • Cavities or rotten wood along the trunk or in major branches
  • Mushrooms present at the base of the tree
  • Cracks or splits in the trunk or where branches are attached
  • Fallen branches from the tree
  • Dead or fallen adjacent trees
  • Strong trunk lean
  • Major branches rising from a single point on the trunk
  • Roots which have been broken off, injured, or damaged by lowering the soil level, installing pavement, repairing sidewalks, or digging trenches
  • Recent site modification by construction, raising the soil level, or installing lawns
  • Premature leaf discoloration or change in size
  • Removal of trees from adjacent wooded areas
  • Tree topping or over pruning
