Tree Health & Risk AssessmentsIn Raleigh, Cary, Apex, and the Greater Triangle region of North Carolina
As trees age, they become more vulnerable to harmful insect infestations, diseases and blights, dying limbs, rot, and other health and risk factors. Even a seemingly healthy looking tree could be moments away from falling onto your home or business, vehicle, or other valuable areas on your property. That’s why Blackhawk Tree Services offers expert tree health and risk assessment services.

Expert Tree Risk Assessments Near You
It can be hard to tell when a tree or tree limb poses a falling risk. But when a tree is sick or dying, it can be hard to tell. A tree can look completely fine on one side while a branch may have died on the other. This can lead to a false sense of security. Even though you might think a tree is fine, a dead limb can cause massive amounts of damage. Because they weigh so much, dead tree branches can cause damage including crushing car roofs, breaking your windows, causing impact damage on your house, and many more types of property damage.
Weather Can Cause Falling Risks
Trees don’t just pose a falling risk when they’re sick and dying, either. The larger trees grow, the more surface area they have for wind to push against. That means that if you have a large tree on your property, it can pose a huge risk every time a heavy storm moves through. These trees can often weigh several tons. The damage they are capable of should not be taken lightly.
It’s important to minimize the risk of large trees falling. With our risk assessment service, we can find out which trees pose a threat and take steps to prevent them from falling. Through a combination of pruning and regular tree maintenance, Blackhawk Tree Services will ensure that the big tree in your backyard doesn’t make you worry the next time a storm rolls in.
Schedule Your Spring Tree Health Check
As the weather warms up in Central NC, dormant diseases and pests begin to actively attack vulnerable trees. A proactive spring tree health check allows our certified arborists to evaluate the root collar, inspect bark integrity, and identify fungal infections early. By catching these issues in the spring, we can often save trees that would otherwise become major falling risks during summer thunderstorms.

Tree Health Assessment FAQ
Q: What is included in a tree health assessment?
A: A comprehensive tree health assessment by a certified arborist includes a visual inspection of the canopy, bark, and root collar. We look for signs of disease, fungal growth, insect infestations, and structural weaknesses that could lead to branch failure.
Q: How do I know if I need a tree risk assessment?
A: You should schedule a risk assessment if you notice dead branches, deep cracks in the trunk, a sudden lean, or fungal growth (like mushrooms) near the base of the tree. It is especially important to evaluate large trees hanging over roofs or driveways before storm season.
Q: What is the difference between a tree health evaluation and a tree risk assessment?
A: A tree health evaluation focuses on the biological well-being of the tree, diagnosing diseases or pest issues. A tree risk assessment focuses on structural integrity and the likelihood of the tree (or its branches) failing and causing property damage or injury.
