Tree Risk Assessment

Tree risk assessment is the process of evaluating the potential for tree failure resulting in property or personal damage. Risk assessment of hazard trees enhances public safety, tree worker safety, and promotes tree longevity.

Tree risk assessment involves three factors:

• potential for tree failure
• environment that may contribute to failure
• target (what would be damaged)

Most tree failures are due to structural defects like poor branch taper, lack of reactionary wood, codominant stems with included bark, and decay due to poor compartmentalization. Tree failure and potential risk can be caused by natural causes or poor tree care techniques. Always use a qualified arborist to care for your tree needs. There are many mitigation options available.
