Tree Risk Assessment and Management
Tree risk assessment is one of our most requested consulting services. Our certified arborists use standardized assessment methods to evaluate trees for structural defects, disease, decay, and other factors that could lead to failure. We provide detailed reports with risk ratings and recommendations for mitigation, which may include pruning, cabling, monitoring, or removal.
These assessments are valuable for property managers, homeowners with large trees near structures, and anyone concerned about tree safety. Our recommendations help you prioritize tree work and make informed decisions about which trees require immediate attention. When tree work is needed, our team can provide professional trimming and pruning services or safe tree removal as recommended.
Construction and Development Consulting
Construction activities are one of the leading causes of tree decline and death. Our arborists work with developers, contractors, and homeowners to protect valuable trees during construction projects. We assess which trees can be preserved, establish tree protection zones, and provide specifications for protecting roots, trunks, and canopies during construction activities.
Early consultation in the planning phase allows us to help you design projects that preserve desirable trees while meeting your development goals. We can also provide ongoing monitoring during construction to ensure protection measures are followed. For projects requiring tree removal, we help you navigate local regulations and permitting requirements in Woonsocket and throughout Rhode Island.
Long-term Tree Management Planning
For property managers, municipalities, and owners of large estates, we develop comprehensive tree management plans that provide a roadmap for maintaining tree health and safety over time. These plans include tree inventories, condition assessments, prioritized work recommendations, and budget projections for ongoing care. A well-designed management plan helps you allocate resources effectively and maintain the long-term value of your tree assets.

What is a tree risk assessment?
A tree risk assessment is a systematic evaluation of a tree's potential to cause harm to people or property. Our certified arborists examine the tree's structure, health, and surrounding environment to identify defects, decay, or other factors that could lead to failure. We provide a written report with risk ratings and recommendations for mitigation measures such as pruning, cabling, monitoring, or removal.
How much does arborist consulting cost?
Consulting fees vary based on the scope and complexity of the work. Basic tree health evaluations typically cost $150-$300, while comprehensive risk assessments or construction impact reports may range from $300-$800 or more. For large properties requiring tree inventories or management plans, we provide custom quotes. We offer free initial consultations to discuss your needs and provide cost estimates.
Do I need an arborist report for a building permit?
Many municipalities, including Woonsocket, require arborist reports when construction projects impact trees, especially protected species or trees of a certain size. The report typically includes tree inventory, health assessments, and recommendations for preservation or removal. We're familiar with local requirements and provide reports that meet municipal standards for permit applications.
What qualifications do your arborists have?
Our arborists are certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), which requires passing a comprehensive exam and ongoing continuing education. Some of our team members also hold additional certifications in tree risk assessment. We stay current with the latest research and best practices in arboriculture to provide you with expert, science-based advice.
