Ocala Tree Risk Assessments

What is a tree risk assessment?

A professional tree risk assessment is an evaluation of one or more trees by a qualified Ocala Florida Certified Arborist to determine the level of risk a tree poses to a target such as people or structures.

The Certified Arborist will inspect the trees using the International Society of Arboriculture and American National Standards Institute best practices and guidelines.

During an inspection consideration will be given to things like structure, species, location, soil, surrounding trees and structures, age of the plant, signs of decay and pest infestation.

The arborist will designate a risk rating for the tree based on the probability of failure, and the possible fallout to the surrounding environment, including people and structures.

The assessment is formally documented using a form designated by the International Society of Arboriculture for the Tree Risk Assessment process.

The Value of Certified Tree Assessments

While Ocala Florida trees offer many wonderful benefits to our environment they also present risks, especially in an urban setting, where people, buildings, cars and hardscapes can become targets of falling trees and branches, or roots pushing up sidewalks creating tripping hazards.

Trees that are situated in these high value target areas should be assessed routinely, by a Certified Arborist, to check for any defects or other site conditions that elevate risk. If conditions exist that warrant action, a mitigation plan can be created to reduce the risk.

Some signs of problems found during a Tree Risk Assessment could be poorly structured codominant leaders, included bark, weak branch attachment, deadwood or decay in the tree or the roots of the tree.

Our Certified Arborists are trained to look for signs of structural defects, pest infestation and damage caused by other external factors. In addition we are experienced and trained in looking for symptoms of disease or mineral deficiency.
