Tree Specialists’ vegetation management services recognize and support the various relationships that exist in a healthy, functional landscape — one that considers the associations of soil, moisture, light, water quality, and biological diversity. We are also experienced with historic landscape settings, and often add this important layer to our work in historically significant settings. Proper site assessment and an awareness of how these interconnected factors can be managed are the foundation of a quality landscape management program.
Tree Inventory and Assessment

Tree Inventory and Assessment

Identifies and maps individual specimens and visually assesses their health, structure, and potential risks to people, buildings, and landscape features.

Tree Risk Assessment

Tree Risk Assessment

A thorough exploratory inspection of individual trees identified as a potential risk. The assessment considers three factors: the tree’s failure potential, the setting in which the tree grows, and in the event of failure - the potential target. A rating is assigned to help determine the best course of action.
