A structured, science-backed evaluation that identifies hazardous conditions in your trees so you can act before branches or entire trunks fail.

Our Tree Risk Assessment follows the TRAQ methodology, a national standard that brings structure and consistency to tree evaluations. We don’t rely on guesswork. We examine the entire tree system: roots, trunk, branch structure, and canopy. We look for decay, cracks, weak attachments, cavities, fungal growth, and previous storm damage. We measure lean angles, check for root plate movement, and assess how close the tree is to structures, powerlines, or high-traffic areas. Every detail matters when predicting failure risk.

During the inspection, we document tree species, age, health condition, and any visible defects. We evaluate the likelihood of failure and the potential consequences if a branch or tree does come down. You get a written report with clear recommendations: remove, prune, cable, monitor, or leave as is. This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s data you can use to budget, plan maintenance, or demonstrate due diligence if a claim ever arises.

Our TRAQ certification means we’ve completed advanced training in risk evaluation and passed rigorous exams. In Parke County, where ice storms and summer winds stress mature oaks and maples, having a trained eye on your property protects what matters most. If you’re buying or selling property, managing rental units, or simply concerned about a leaning tree near your driveway, a Tree Risk Assessment gives you clarity and control.
