What is a tree risk assessment?
Risk is a combination of how likely a part is to fail, what it would hit, and how bad that would be. Written up properly, it is a document you can act on — or file. Tree Service Pros provides tree risk assessments across North Central Texas — free written estimates, insured crews, complete clean-up. Call (817) 508-9940.

What a risk assessment answers
Risk is not the same as defect. A hollow tree in the middle of a pasture is a defective tree with almost no risk; a smaller tree with one cracked limb over a child's bedroom is the reverse. A proper assessment weighs three things: how likely a part is to fail, what it would hit if it did, and how severe that would be.
The output is a document — findings, photographs, a risk rating and mitigation options ranked by what they cost. It is what an HOA board, an insurer or a lawyer needs, and it is what lets you make a decision about a tree instead of arguing about one.
No inspection makes a tree safe
An assessment describes a tree at a point in time under a stated set of conditions. Trees change, and a storm outside those conditions can fail a tree that was rated low risk last month. Anyone offering a guarantee that a tree will not fail is selling something that does not exist.
How it works
Our tree risk assessment process
Define the targets
What is under the tree, and how often is anyone or anything actually there.
Inspect systematically
Root plate, collar, trunk, unions, scaffolds and canopy, in that order, all the way round.
Investigate where warranted
Sounding, probing, and resistance drilling where decay extent changes the answer.
Rate and document
Likelihood, target occupancy and consequence combined into a rating, with photographs.
Give options, not an ultimatum
Removal, reduction, cabling, target relocation or monitoring — with costs.

Straight answers
Tree Risk Assessment — straight answers
What does it cost?
Quoted per property after a site visit — there is no useful average across sites this different.
How soon can you come out?
Estimates are usually within a couple of business days across all five counties. Hazard situations move to the front of the queue.
Are you insured?
General liability and workers' compensation, with the certificate sent before you book. Texas does not license tree services at state level, so this is the question that actually filters a bid list.
Where do you work?
Tarrant, Johnson, Parker, Hill and Bosque Counties — 100 cities, from Fort Worth and Arlington down to Hillsboro and Meridian.
FAQ
Tree Risk Assessment — frequently asked
Do you offer discounts for multiple trees?
Effectively yes — the second tree on the same visit costs less than it would on its own because setup, travel and haul-off are already covered. If you have several trees needing attention, get them all quoted at once rather than one at a time.
How long does the work usually take in North Texas?
Most residential jobs are a single day. A straightforward trim on one or two trees is a half day; a large removal that has to be rigged over a house can run two. We give you a realistic window in the written estimate rather than a hopeful one.
Can you work near power lines?
Up to a point. Anything in contact with a service drop or a primary conductor is the utility's to clear first — we do not cut energised lines and neither should anyone who is not a qualified line-clearance crew. We handle everything outside those clearances.
What if I only want an opinion, not work done?
That is fine and it is free. A fair share of what we look at does not need what it was quoted for. We would rather tell you that and be the people you call next time.
How soon can you get to my property in North Texas?
Estimates in North Texas are usually within a couple of business days. Scheduled work typically runs one to two weeks out depending on season — spring and post-storm periods are busiest. Hazard situations get moved to the front of the queue.
Will you damage my lawn or sprinkler system?
We plate or mat soft ground before anything heavy crosses it, and we ask you to flag sprinkler heads and low-voltage lighting, which do not show up on a utility locate. Some rutting is possible on saturated ground — if it happens, repairing it is on us.
What happens if it rains on my scheduled day?
We reschedule. Saturated ground means ruts and, more importantly, compromised anchor points and footing — nobody should be aloft in a tree in a North Texas thunderstorm. You get a call, not a no-show.
Do I need to be home while you work?
No, as long as we have access and have already walked the job with you. Plenty of North Texas customers are at work while we are there. We will call before we start and send photos when we finish.
