We serve Big Sky, Gallatin Gateway, and the surrounding areas. We offer experienced, science-backed services.

What is involved in a tree risk assessment?
A ‘Basic Tree Risk Assessment’ involves a comprehensive evaluation from the ground (a thorough visual inspection, sometimes employing non-invasive tools) to evaluate a tree’s condition, surroundings, and the potential consequences of failure.
When unique needs exist, more advanced methods of tree inspection, such as rope access, aerial lifts, drones, or tools that measure internal decay, may be recommended.
How much does a tree risk assessment cost?
Costs depend on tree size, location, condition, species, and other factors. Assessments are beneficial when dealing with large trees or a large quantity of mature/semi-mature trees close to people or infrastructure. Contact us today for more info.
Is a tree risk assessment necessary after a storm?
Depending on the size and value of the tree(s), it may be beneficial to take a proactive approach and have a tree risk assessment done after large storm events.
High winds, snow, or ice can place major stress on trees, leading to storm damage that’s hard to detect without the proper training and experience.
Assessing your trees for risk after a significant storm event may help prevent additional or more severe problems if wounding and damage are identified and addressed immediately.
