Diagnosis

Tree health assessments & consultations

Insects, disease and structural problems often go unnoticed until real damage is done. A professional assessment finds them early and gives you a clear, honest plan.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does an assessment take?

It depends on the size of the property and number of trees. Most residential assessments can be completed in a single visit.

Do you remove trees?

Our focus is preserving trees. When removal is truly the safest option, we will tell you honestly and explain why.

Can you inspect trees before I buy a home?

Yes. A pre-purchase property inspection tells you what condition the trees are in and whether any need treatment or attention.
