Hazardous Tree Risk

While it is impossible to eliminate all of the risks inherent to living amongst trees (without eliminating the trees altogether), we can assess, mitigate, and manage these risks. By managing risks, we increase safety and our ability to enjoy the wonderful benefits of trees.

Managing the risks associated with tree failures is an essential duty and challenge for urban foresters and arborists. RemyMahl Forestry Consulting independently examines structural defects and site conditions to estimate a tree’s failure potential and likelihood to impact a high-value target.

When needed, we develop a tree risk management plan – A management plan that focuses on preventing and correcting hazardous tree defects and provides a written, systematic procedure for inspecting and evaluating hazardous trees and remedying them before they become unacceptable risks.

We can also investigate potential negligence, premises liability, and duty of care cases related to landscape design or management.
