Understanding Tree Risk Assessment
A Tree Risk Assessment is a detailed inspection performed by a qualified tree risk assessor to evaluate the health, structure, and safety of your trees.
At LECM, our ISA Certified Arborists use this process to identify potential hazards — such as weak branch attachments, decay, disease, or root damage — before they lead to property damage or personal injury.
By combining experience, science-based methods, and professional judgment, our assessors help property owners make informed decisions about tree care, maintenance, and removal.
Why Tree Risk Assessment Matters
Trees enhance your property’s beauty and environmental value, but they also carry potential risks — especially in commercial and high-traffic areas.
A professional tree inspection and risk assessment helps you:
- Identify hidden hazards that may not be visible to the untrained eye.
- Prevent property damage from falling limbs or tree failure during storms.
- Reduce liability by documenting proactive tree safety management.
- Prioritize maintenance based on each tree’s condition and risk level.
- Plan responsibly for pruning, cabling, or removal when necessary.
Tree risk assessment isn’t just about identifying problems — it’s about ensuring long-term safety, health, and sustainability for your landscape.
Certified Tree Risk Assessors You Can Trust
Our assessments are performed by ISA Certified Arborists trained under the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) program — the industry’s leading standard for evaluating tree stability and safety.
This certification ensures that every LECM tree risk assessor:
- Understands how to assess tree structure and failure potential
- Follows standardized, science-based evaluation methods
- Provides objective, documented reports with clear recommendations
With TRAQ-certified professionals on our team, you can have confidence in the accuracy and reliability of our findings.
