It all starts with a conversation about your trees.
Arborist Consulting & Tree Assessments
An arborist consultation is an on-site visit where you can walk your property with a certified arborist and talk through your questions or concerns. Whether a tree looks unhealthy, you’re worried about safety, or you’re simply unsure what to do next, we take time to look closely, explain what we see, and discuss practical options that fit your goals and budget.
Our role is to help you understand your trees and make confident, informed decisions about their care.
How we help
Professional evaluations typically fall into two areas: understanding tree safety and understanding tree health.
Tree Risk Assessment
When safety is a concern, a Tree Risk Assessment provides an objective evaluation based on industry standards. Our arborists use established criteria to determine the level of risk a tree may pose — low, moderate, or high — while considering the likelihood of failure and the potential consequences if it occurs.
You receive a clear, professional report that helps guide decisions about removal, retention, or mitigation options to reduce risk.
A risk assessment can help determine:
- The probability of tree or limb failure
- The potential impact on people, structures, or property
- Whether a tree can be safely retained
- Practical steps to reduce residual risk
This process provides structured, defensible guidance rather than guesswork.
Tree risk assessments typically begin at $200, depending on scope and property size.
Tree Health Evaluation
A Tree Health Assessment focuses on the overall condition and vitality of a tree. One of our certified arborists evaluates foliage, growth patterns, structure, site conditions, and visible signs of stress or decline to understand how the tree is functioning.
The goal is to identify underlying issues and provide practical recommendations to improve health, manage stress, or guide future care.
This assessment may address:
- Signs of disease, pests, or environmental stress
- Structural or growth concerns
- Soil and root zone conditions
- Suitability for preservation or long-term care
All TreeRX plans begin with an objective professional evaluation to ensure care is tailored to the tree’s actual condition.
Tree health evaluations typically begin at $150, depending on scope and property size.
