Health / Risk Assessment

Unlike most consulting arborists, we have two climbing consultants who are able to climb trees to complete aerial assessments. We use state-of-the-art evaluation tools, including the Resistograph Drill, to assess trees. Our approach is intended to save valuable trees and identify those that are of concern for potential risk. We provide detailed custom management plans for each evaluated tree, with instructions for pruning or removal to reduce risk, diagnosis and treatment recommendations to improve health, and general tree care instructions. Our PNW-ISA Certified Tree Risk Assessors use the current Tree Risk Assessment method and are qualified to file applications for removal permits with municipalities. We specialize in structural assessment and decay diagnostics with the Resistograph drill, a tool that gives us information on the interior condition of the tree.

We also work closely with plant pathologists and testing labs, enabling us to make broad-based and accurate assessments of tree health and condition, as well as developing effective treatment plans.
