As great and beneficial as trees are, sometimes they pose hazards in the environment, residential or commercial spaces. They can serve as hosts for pest infestations, get diseased and have falling limbs, leaning trunks or even fall, causing injury to homeowners, visitors, customers and passers-by, with damage to surrounding property. 

Tree Risk Assessments are one way to ensure that trees which serve as potential sources of danger or hazards are removed before they actually cause problems. It also makes room for proactive tree care, where tree problems, diseases or infestations are taken care of before signs become evident or it becomes harmful.

Experts like Frady Tree Care have certified, licensed and insured arborists who help the property owner carry out comprehensive tree risk assessments complete with recommendations and tree care solutions. They also offer high-quality tree care services to cater to the problems found on risk assessments.

What Kinds Of Tree Risk Assessments Can They Offer?

Level 1 Limited Visual Assessment  

In this kind, the arborists assess designated areas generally, identifying and noting any extreme risk trees in that vicinity. It is not a completely detailed assessment and is designed to cover large areas like whole streets in a short time, identifying areas or specific trees that need further risk assessments.

Level 2 Basic Assessments

This involves taking tree inventory where the arborists completely assess a tree and the area surrounding it for defects in all its visible parts. The assessment includes sounding with a rubber mallet and probes for open cavities.

The arborist may also identify parts of the tree or health that need a more thorough evaluation for risk of failure. The risk assessment and mitigation report includes the problems observed on tree inspection.

Level 3 Advanced Assessments

This involves tree root and crown assessment and may include climbing inspections, root system evaluations and use of advanced equipment like resistographs and sonic tomography, a piece of equipment that uses sound motion through the tree to give visual representations of internal conditions.
