Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after a storm can you assess my trees?

We prioritize post-storm assessments and typically respond within 24-48 hours of your call, depending on the severity of the storm and demand in Southeast, Eugene. In cases of immediate danger, we offer emergency services with even faster response times.

Can you tell if a leaning tree needs to be removed?

Our arborists can assess the severity of the lean and the tree’s overall health to determine if removal is necessary. Factors we consider include the degree of lean, root damage, soil conditions, and the tree’s species and age. In some cases, trees can be saved through cabling and bracing techniques.

What if the damaged tree is on the property line between me and my neighbor?

Property line tree issues can be complex. We recommend discussing the situation with your neighbor before taking action. Our assessment will provide clear documentation of the tree’s condition, which can help facilitate discussions and decision-making between neighbors.

How do you determine if storm damage has made a tree hazardous?

We evaluate multiple factors, including the extent of structural damage, the tree’s overall health, and its proximity to targets (e.g., buildings, walkways). We use industry-standard risk assessment protocols to quantify the level of risk and provide clear recommendations.

Can storm-damaged trees be saved?

Many storm-damaged trees can be saved with proper care. Our assessment will determine if the tree’s critical structure is intact and if it has enough healthy tissue to recover. We’ll provide recommendations for pruning, cabling, or other treatments that can help rehabilitate the tree.

Do you provide estimates for repair or removal during the assessment?

While our primary focus during the assessment is to evaluate the tree’s condition, we can provide general estimates for recommended services. For more complex cases, we may need to conduct a more detailed evaluation before providing precise cost estimates.

How long does a typical post-storm tree assessment take?

The duration varies depending on the number of trees and the extent of damage. A typical residential property assessment in Southeast can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. We’ll provide a time estimate when scheduling your appointment.

What information will be included in the assessment report?

Our comprehensive reports include detailed descriptions of each assessed tree, photographic documentation, risk ratings, and specific recommendations for treatment or removal. We also provide a prioritized action plan to address immediate hazards and long-term care needs.
