Why Hire Tree Inspection Services?
It’s not easy to see defects in your trees when they arise. It often takes the eye of an expert to identify common indicators such as:
- The way a tree is forming.
- The color and density of its leaves.
- Pest and disease detection.
- Soil conditions and root disturbance.
Our tree experts at Peachtree Arborists use a combination of visual tree inspections that leverage technology to identify any potential or existing damage.
The goal of our arborist tree inspection is to provide you with factual information about the condition of your trees so that you can decide what, if any, action needs to be taken in order to preserve them for as long as possible.
We’ll also inform you of any potential risks to property or nearby people. When an issue can be resolved safely, we rarely recommend tree removal as the solution.
At Peachtree Arborists, we often take on less invasive courses of actions, where possible, such as:
- Pruning or cabling.
- Changing soil condition.
- Adding mulch to the base of your trees.
Signs You Need a Tree Risk Assessment
Regular tree inspections are crucial for maintaining a safe and healthy landscape. Knowing when to schedule a professional tree risk assessment can prevent future hazards and preserve your property’s value. Older, larger, and mature trees can significantly add to the market value of the property if properly maintained.
But, larger trees can create challenges, too. They’re more likely to drop branches or have potential root conflicts (e.g. damaging underground water pipes, etc.) on the spot where they grow.
When maintaining these kinds of trees, it is essential to recognize potential risks to your property. This is where a tree risk assessment by a qualified arborist can come in handy.
Here are key indicators that it’s time to call for a comprehensive tree health assessment:
- Sudden Limb Loss: Unexplained falling branches often signal internal decay and require immediate tree inspection.
- Leaning Trunk: A newly developed lean may indicate root issues that necessitate a hazard tree evaluation.
- Bark Abnormalities: Cracks, peeling, or missing bark warrant a detailed tree health assessment.
- Fungal Growth: Mushrooms on the trunk or roots often suggest decay, which means it’s time for a professional tree risk assessment.
- Foliage Issues: Discolored or prematurely dropping leaves can indicate various health problems.
- Dead Branches: These pose immediate risks and should be addressed in a hazard tree evaluation.
- Root Damage: Visible root decay or soil disturbance requires expert tree inspection.
If you notice any of these signs or have concerns about your trees’ health, it’s wise to schedule a professional tree risk assessment with Peachtree Arborists. Our team of certified ISA arborists specializes in comprehensive tree inspections.
Don’t wait for problems to escalate. A proactive tree risk assessment is key to maintaining safe, beautiful trees on your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a Tree Risk Assessment?
A tree risk assessment is a professional evaluation conducted to identify potential hazards associated with a tree. It involves assessing the tree’s health, stability, and surrounding environment to determine any risks it might pose to property or safety. This proactive approach helps prevent accidents and property damage.
What Is Involved in a Tree Assessment?
A comprehensive tree health assessment includes a thorough visual inspection of the tree’s structure, roots, and canopy. Arborists look for signs of disease, decay, pest infestations, and other factors that could compromise the tree’s stability. Additional tools, like sonic tomography or resistograph testing, may be used for deeper analysis.
What Is the Risk Rating of a Tree?
The hazard tree evaluation process assigns a risk rating based on the likelihood of tree failure and the potential consequences. This rating helps prioritize which trees need immediate attention and which can be monitored over time to ensure effective tree management and safety.
