What the work should solve
Tree risk is not determined by appearance alone. A useful assessment examines the tree, site history, possible failure parts, target occupancy, and consequences.
A useful estimate connects the recommended method to the tree’s condition, the people or property below it, and the physical route needed to complete the work.
