Trees add so much beauty and value to a property—but they can also pose a serious risk if they’re not healthy. If you’ve ever wondered whether that leaning oak or cracked limb near your home is safe, it might be time to schedule a hazard tree risk assessment. At Riverdale Tree Services, we help you stay safe without guessing.
A hazard tree isn’t always obvious. Some look perfectly fine on the outside while hiding serious decay, root issues, or structural weakness. That’s why a proper hazard tree risk assessment is more than a quick look—it’s a detailed inspection done by trained professionals who know what signs to look for and how to evaluate potential risks.
At Riverdale Tree Services, we assess everything from soil conditions and root structure to canopy weight and branch strength. We use tools and knowledge developed over years of experience to spot red flags most homeowners wouldn’t know to look for. Because when it comes to trees, it’s not always what you see—it’s what you don’t.
Too many people wait until after a storm or near miss to take action. But preventive care is always the better option. Our hazard tree risk assessments help you avoid costly damage, injury, and unnecessary stress. Whether you’re a homeowner, property manager, or business owner, getting ahead of potential hazards is always the smart move.
We also give you clear, honest advice. If your tree is fine, we’ll tell you. If it needs trimming, cabling, or removal, we’ll explain why and give you options. No scare tactics—just experienced eyes on your landscape and guidance you can trust. That’s what sets Riverdale Tree apart.
Living with trees means accepting that they’re living things—they grow, change, and sometimes decline. A hazard tree risk assessment isn’t about removing every tree that shows wear—it’s about understanding the risk and acting responsibly. Sometimes that means pruning. Other times, it means letting go of a tree before it becomes a danger.
So if you’re seeing cracked limbs, leaning trunks, or trees close to your home or power lines, don’t wait for something to go wrong. Call Riverdale Tree Services for a professional hazard tree risk assessment. It’s one of the smartest steps you can take to protect your property, your family, and your peace of mind.
