Risk Planning
Tree risk assessment for safer property decisions
Risk planning is about protecting people, structures, and access routes while preserving valuable canopy where possible.
What we evaluate first
- Targets: homes, driveways, docks, and routine occupancy zones
- Visible defects: cracks, weak unions, decay indicators, root disturbance
- Context: wind exposure, soil moisture patterns, and recent site changes
How recommendations are prioritized
- Immediate mitigation for near-term safety concerns
- Corrective pruning, cabling, or monitoring as needed
- Long-term care plan tied to site goals and budget
FAQ
Tree risk assessment questions
What makes certain trees higher-risk in storms?
Exposure, saturated soils, root-zone disruption, and high-value targets near homes and access routes can raise urgency for structural review.
How quickly should I schedule an assessment after a storm event?
If there is new lean, cracking, canopy failure, or hanging limbs over active targets, schedule as soon as possible for safety and planning.
Can risk recommendations be phased by priority?
Yes. We typically separate immediate safety actions from medium-term corrective care and longer-term health management so work can be staged.
