Frequently Asked Questions
What is an arborist consultation, and when do I need one?
An arborist consultation is a documented professional opinion about your tree(s) — health, structural risk, species ID, or expected service life. You need one when something changes (sudden lean, large limb failure), when paperwork requires it (insurance claim, HOA, city permit), or before a major decision (removing a heritage tree, buying a property with mature canopy). Consultations are not estimates — you’re paying for professional judgment, not a sales call.
How much does an arborist consultation or tree risk assessment cost?
Basic on-site consultations and informal risk assessments typically run $250–$500. Formal written reports — the kind insurance carriers, HOAs, and municipalities accept — run $400–$1,200 depending on tree count, complexity, and required documentation. Pre-purchase inspections of properties with significant canopy typically fall $350–$800. We quote each consultation in advance based on the actual scope.
Can you write a report for my insurance company, HOA, or city permit?
Yes. We routinely write reports for insurance claims (storm damage, tree-on-structure), HOA disputes, and municipal permits (heritage tree removal, mitigation requirements). The report includes species ID, condition assessment, photographic documentation, and a clear professional opinion — formatted to satisfy what the requesting party needs. Tell us up front what the report is for; the level of detail and formatting differs.
Do you write TRAQ-level tree risk assessments?
Yes. TRAQ (Tree Risk Assessment Qualification) is the ISA’s structured framework for evaluating tree failure risk. We conduct full Level 2 visual assessments and, when warranted, advanced (Level 3) assessments involving climbing inspection. The report includes target identification, likelihood-of-failure, likelihood-of-impact, consequence analysis, and a final risk rating — the framework municipalities and insurance carriers recognize.
