Tree Health, risk, and wildfire assessment, consultation, and planning for Central Texas homeowners and service providers.
Health and Risk Assessments
According to Julian Dunster in the Tree Risk Assessment Manual 2nd Edition:
Tree risk assessment is the systematic process used to identify, analyze, and evaluate tree risk. Health assessments focus on assessing tree condition and vigor (life force.)
These are common questions:
- Is my tree safe?
- Is my tree sick or dying?
- I’m worried about the safety of my tree.
- What are my options to reduce risk?

- Is oak wilt currently present on the property or is there an immediate risk from oak wilt on neighboring properties?
- What about roots and related plumbing and foundation issues?
- Is a tree protected by local ordinances?
- Are people or property at risk from encroaching trees?
