Behind the Scenes: How Complete Care Conducts Comprehensive Tree Risk Assessments Nov 06, 2025

Tree risk assessments are essential for ensuring the safety and longevity of the trees that grace our landscapes. At Complete Care, we understand the importance of maintaining healthy trees not only for aesthetic and environmental reasons but also for the safety of your property and loved ones. But what exactly goes into these assessments, and how do they benefit you as a property owner?

Tree risk assessments are a proactive approach to identifying potential hazards posed by trees. Complete Care has perfected a methodical process to conduct these assessments, blending expertise with state-of-the-art technology to provide peace of mind for our clients.

The first step involves a thorough visual inspection. Our certified arborists begin by examining each tree from the ground up. They look for visible signs of decay, disease, or structural weaknesses. Problems like root rot, fungal growth, or significant cracks can indicate a tree’s potential to fail. This initial inspection is crucial, serving as the foundation for further investigation and determining the areas requiring closer examination.

Next, we use advanced diagnostic tools to delve deeper into less visible issues. Devices like resistographs and sonic tomography allow us to peek inside a tree’s structure. These tools provide crucial insights into the internal health of a tree, revealing decay or hollow areas that might not be visible externally. This combination of visual inspection and high-tech analysis ensures a comprehensive overview of each tree’s condition.

The assessment continues as our team evaluates the tree's environment and history. Factors such as soil composition, exposure to the elements, and previous trimming practices can significantly impact a tree's health and stability. We also consider how close a tree is to buildings, power lines, or high-traffic areas, assessing the potential consequences of a tree failure.

Once the evaluation is complete, Complete Care creates a detailed report outlining our findings for each tree. This report includes a risk rating, which categories the tree into low, moderate, or high risk of failure. Our experts then provide actionable recommendations based on these ratings. For trees that are in good health, regular monitoring may suffice. Trees with moderate risk might require pruning to remove weakened branches or structural support adjustments. In cases where a tree poses a significant hazard, removal might be the most prudent option to ensure public safety.

Our aim at Complete Care is to empower property owners with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about their landscapes. Regular tree assessments are an investment in the safety and beauty of your property. Not only do they help prevent property damage and injury, but they also promote healthy growth, prolonging the life of your trees.
