The Importance of Tree Risk Assessments

Trees can face a variety of risks throughout their lives, from disease and pest infestations to structural weaknesses and environmental stress. While many of these issues can be managed with regular care, some trees may develop problems that pose significant risks to your property and safety. These risks can include falling branches, tree collapse, or interference with power lines and structures.



A professional tree risk assessment is the best way to identify potential hazards before they become serious problems. At Cornwall Tree Service, our arborists conduct thorough evaluations of your trees, assessing their health, structure, and overall condition. By identifying and addressing issues early, we can help you prevent accidents, reduce liability, and maintain the health and beauty of your landscape.

What to Expect During a Tree Risk Assessment

A tree risk assessment is a detailed inspection process that involves evaluating various factors that could affect the stability and safety of your trees. Our certified arborists use their expertise to examine the following aspects:

  • Tree Structure

    We assess the tree’s overall structure, looking for signs of weakness such as cracks, splits, or decayed wood. We also evaluate the tree’s branching pattern and the attachment points of limbs to determine if they are vulnerable to breakage.

  • Tree Health

    The health of a tree plays a significant role in its ability to withstand environmental stress and disease. Our arborists check for signs of disease, pest infestations, and other health issues that could compromise the tree’s stability.

  • Root System

    A tree’s root system is crucial for its overall stability. We inspect the root flare (where the trunk meets the ground) and the surrounding soil to check for signs of root damage, decay, or poor anchoring.

  • Site Conditions

    The location of the tree is also a critical factor in its risk profile. We evaluate the site conditions, including soil quality, drainage, and proximity to structures, power lines, and other trees. These factors can influence the tree’s risk of failure.

  • Environmental Factors

    We consider environmental conditions such as wind exposure, slope, and the likelihood of heavy snow or ice accumulation. These factors can increase the risk of tree failure, especially in trees that are already weakened.

After completing the assessment, we provide you with a detailed report that outlines our findings and recommendations. This report serves as a valuable tool for making informed decisions about tree care, maintenance, or removal.

Recommendations and Solutions

Based on the results of the tree risk assessment, our arborists will provide you with expert recommendations on how to manage any identified risks. These recommendations may include:

  • Pruning

    Pruning is often recommended to remove dead, diseased, or structurally unsound branches. Proper pruning can reduce the risk of branch failure and improve the tree’s overall health and appearance.

  • Cabling and Bracing

    If a tree has structural weaknesses but is otherwise healthy, cabling and bracing may be recommended to provide additional support. These methods can help stabilize the tree and prevent limb or trunk failure.

  • Tree Removal

    In some cases, a tree may be too damaged or diseased to be saved, or it may pose an unacceptable risk to people and property. If this is the case, our arborists will advise you on the safest and most efficient way to remove the tree.

  • Soil Management

    Poor soil conditions can contribute to root problems and overall tree decline. We may recommend soil amendments, such as fertilization or aeration, to improve soil quality and support tree health.

  • Monitoring

    For trees that have potential risks but do not require immediate action, ongoing monitoring may be recommended. This involves regular inspections to track changes in the tree’s condition and take action if necessary.

Our goal is to provide you with clear, actionable advice that helps you make the best decisions for your trees and property. Whether it’s implementing preventative measures, scheduling regular maintenance, or planning for tree removal, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
