Tree Risk Assessment in Omaha

A structured evaluation by an experienced arborist of how likely a tree or a part of it is to fail, what it would hit, and how bad that would be. Those three judgments combine into a single rating — low, moderate, high or extreme — using the matrix on this page. It is a widely used industry framework for rating tree risk, which is what makes it defensible rather than an opinion.

A free estimate prices work. An assessment answers a question, and you get a document at the end of it whether or not any work follows. If what you actually want is somebody to look at a tree and quote pruning, take the free estimate — it costs nothing and most people need that instead.

Yes, because it is a professional opinion rather than a sales visit, and because the value of it is that we have no stake in the answer. If the assessment says the tree is fine, you have paid for a document that says so — which is exactly what it is worth when a neighbor or an adjuster asks.

It is written to a recognized industry risk framework, signed and dated by an experienced arborist, and it names the method used. That is what carriers and attorneys are looking for. We cannot promise how any particular claim goes, but an assessment on file dated before an incident is a very different position from having nothing.

You get told plainly, in the report and out loud on the day. The rating comes with the mitigation that would lower it, and you are free to have any company do that work. Plenty of people take our assessment and hire somebody else for the pruning, which is fine — the assessment is the product.

An hour or two on site for most residential properties, and the written report follows within a few business days. If a tree is an immediate hazard you hear that before we leave rather than in an email on Thursday.
