Tree Health & Hazard Assessments — SE Wisconsin

Know Your Trees.
Before They Become a Problem.

Most tree failures aren’t sudden — they give warning signs for months or years beforehand. Our arborists are trained to read those signs: decay patterns, structural defects, disease indicators, and root problems that aren’t visible to the untrained eye.
Assessment
What We Assess

A Clear Picture
of What's Going On.

A tree health assessment evaluates the overall condition of a tree — identifying disease, decay, structural defects, pest infestations, and root problems. The result is a clear picture of what the tree needs: monitoring, treatment, pruning, cabling, or removal.

We provide written assessment reports suitable for insurance documentation, property sales, neighbor disputes, municipal compliance, and HOA records.

  • Canopy health and deadwood evaluation
  • Trunk and bark inspection for decay and disease
  • Structural defect identification — cracks, co-dominant stems, lean
  • Root zone assessment
  • Pest and disease identification
  • Hazard rating and risk classification
  • Written report with photos available on request

Hazard Tree Assessment

Identify trees that pose a risk to structures, people, or neighboring properties. Written hazard assessments document findings for insurance, legal, and liability purposes.

Pre-Sale Property Assessment

Buying or selling a property with mature trees? A professional assessment identifies tree health issues before they become negotiating problems or post-sale surprises.

Post-Storm Assessment

After a significant storm, trees that look intact may have sustained hidden structural damage. A post-storm assessment identifies compromised trees before secondary failure occurs.

Insurance & Legal Documentation

Written tree health assessments from our arborists provide recognized documentation for insurance claims, neighbor disputes, permit applications, and municipal compliance requirements.

Common questions

Tree Health Assessment FAQ

How do I know if my tree needs an assessment?
Signs that warrant a professional assessment: large dead branches in the canopy, cracks or splits in the trunk, fungi growing on the bark or at the base, significant leaning that developed recently, roots that appear to be lifting or damaged, or any tree near a structure that you’re unsure about.
Yes. Written assessment reports with photos are available on request. These are formatted for use in insurance claims, property transactions, HOA records, neighbor disputes, and municipal compliance.
A removal quote tells you what it will cost to remove a tree. An assessment evaluates the tree’s overall health and structure and tells you what the tree actually needs — which might be removal, pruning, cabling, treatment, or simply monitoring. The assessment informs the recommendation.
Yes. A written assessment documenting tree condition, hazard level, and cause of damage or failure provides the documentation insurance adjusters typically require.
