Tree Risk Assessment Services

Tree Risk Assessment Services

Tree risk assessment is the process of evaluating trees for potential hazards and identifying any risks that they might have toward people, property, and infrastructure. Tree risk assessments are important because they help identify issues before they become dangerous, allowing for early intervention to reduce risk and prevent damage or injury. At Birch Tree Care, we offer professional tree risk assessment services to help our clients identify potential hazards and develop strategies to mitigate them.

There are several reasons why your trees may need a risk assessment, including storm damage, insect infestation, disease, or simply aging. Trees that are located near homes, playgrounds, or other high-traffic areas may also require regular risk assessments to ensure their safety. If you have trees on your property, it is important to have them assessed by professionals, like us, to identify any potential hazards and develop a plan to mitigate the risks.

Our team of certified arborists at Birch Tree Care has years of experience evaluating trees for signs of damage or disease and identifying potential hazards. They are equipped to develop a comprehensive risk management plan tailored to your specific needs.

Our Tree Risk Assessment

Birch Tree Care offers a variety of tree risk assessment services to help our clients identify potential hazards posed by trees. Some of the different types of risk assessment services we provide include:

Visual Tree Assessments

Visual tree assessment is an important part of tree risk assessment, and it involves a thorough inspection of the tree to identify any potential hazards. At Birch Tree Care, our certified arborists conduct visual inspections of trees to look for signs of damage, decay, disease, or structural issues that could pose a risk to people or property. During the assessment, our arborists will evaluate the tree's canopy, trunk, and roots, and look for any signs of stress or instability. They may also assess the surrounding area for any potential risks posed by the tree, such as falling branches or uprooting. Based on the findings of the visual tree assessment, our team will recommend appropriate management options to mitigate any risks and ensure the continued health and safety of the tree.

Advanced Tree Decay Detection

Decay in trees can weaken the structure of the trunk or branches, making them more susceptible to breakage or falling, which can be a hazard to people or property. Our arborists use specialized equipment like the resistograph to measure the resistance of the wood inside the tree, and sonic tomography to create an image of the inside of the tree. With this information, we can determine the extent of decay inside the tree and make informed recommendations for management options. By using advanced tree decay detection methods, we can accurately assess the health and safety of your trees and provide the best possible care. 

Root Zone Assessments

Root zone assessments are an important part of our tree risk assessment services at Birch Tree Care. The root system of a tree is crucial to its overall health and stability, and assessing its condition is important to ensure the safety of the tree and its surrounding area. 

Our certified arborists use specialized tools and techniques to evaluate the root system of a tree, including soil samples and root collar excavations. By assessing the roots, we can determine if there are any issues such as root rot or girdling roots that may be compromising the tree's stability. Based on our findings, we recommend management options, such as root pruning or stabilization, to ensure the continued health and safety of the tree. With our expertise in root zone assessments, you can be confident that your trees are in good hands with Birch Tree Care.

Hazard Tree Identification

At Birch Tree Care, we offer hazard tree identification services to help our clients identify trees that may pose a risk to people, buildings, or other property. Our certified arborists are trained to recognize the signs of a hazardous tree, including dead or dying branches, structural issues, or signs of disease or decay. We also consider other factors such as the tree's location, surrounding terrain, and weather patterns. After identifying a hazardous tree, we come up with a specialized treatment plan to remove any risk the trees might have, such as pruning, cabling, or even removal. 

Our goal at Birch Tree Care is to help our clients make informed decisions about their trees and ensure the safety of their property. With our years of experience in hazard tree identification, you can trust Birch Tree Care to provide the best possible care for your trees.

Tree Health Assessments 

During tree health assessments, our certified arborists evaluate the overall health of trees by examining their foliage, bark, and structure, and by considering factors such as soil quality, weather patterns, and other environmental factors. The team also uses advanced diagnostic tools to identify any diseases or pests that may be affecting the tree's health. Based on the assessment findings, our arborists come up with a treatment plan to improve the health of your trees and reduce the risk of potential hazards. 

At Birch Tree Care, we are deeply passionate about trees.

Tree Risk Assessment Customer Reviews

“The crew from Birch Tree Care did a GREAT job; efficient, professional, results were as expected and at a fair price. They also cleaned up so well that we couldn't tell they were there! I would highly recommend them.”

– Dan Winter

“My first experience with Birch Tree Care was positive from start to finish. Tony came out the day after I called, sent a prompt and reasonable estimate the next day, and scheduled my work for ten days later. The crew did a great job removing an overgrown yew and its stump very near my house and also pruning a maple and crabapple. Some deep-root fertilizing got done even sooner. Tony is a knowledgeable arborist and the company has great equipment. I couldn't be happier, highly recommend them, and am glad I found them.”

– Lauri P.
