Common Questions About Tree Inspections

  • What is a tree inspection?
    A tree inspection is a professional evaluation by a certified arborist to check your trees for health issues, structural problems, pests, disease, and potential safety hazards near homes or property.

  • Inspections help identify problems early—such as disease, decay, weak limbs, or pest infestations—before they become dangerous or costly to fix.

  • Most arborists recommend at least once per year for mature or high-risk trees, and after severe weather events (storms, high winds) to check for hidden damage.

  • They’ll assess trunk and structural integrity, canopy health, branch unions, signs of disease or pests, root condition, and overall stability.

  • In general, no—tree inspections are typically a separate specialty service because home inspectors aren’t trained arborists.

  • Depending on the number and size of trees, a thorough inspection can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours.

  • Costs vary widely based on tree size, quantity, and complexity of assessment; detailed risk assessments or advanced diagnostic tools can increase the price significantly.

  • Most arborists provide a written evaluation or summary that explains any issues found and their recommendations for care or mitigation.
