Tree Risk Assessment: The Key to Safer Trees & Peace of Mind!
It is normal for trees to break and fall. But when people and property are nearby, the consequences could be catastrophic. Risk assessment is essential to identifying possible hazardous trees.
Trees in the forest fall and break all the time. This is just a normal part of life for a tree.
But in the forest the consequences of this happening are minimal.
A tree falling into a playground, house, or crowded sidewalk could cause catastrophic harm.
