Structural Defects
Cracks, splits, weak unions and decay can lead to a tree failing. We look closely for these structural defects, using careful inspection to find problems that are not obvious from the ground and might otherwise go unnoticed.
Wellington Hazard Tree Risk Assessment
Hazard Tree Risk Assessment in Wellington
Not every tree that looks healthy is safe. Our hazard tree risk assessment in Wellington helps you identify trees likely to fail before they cause injury or damage. Our arborists examine the trunk, canopy, roots and soil, looking for signs such as cracks, decay, root lifting, poor branch unions and lean. We also consider what is nearby, including homes, play areas, roads and power lines, because the consequences of failure matter as much as the likelihood. After the inspection, you receive a clear risk rating and practical recommendations, whether that means pruning, bracing, ongoing monitoring or removal. Ideal for homeowners, landlords, schools and body corporates meeting their safety duties. Contact us today to arrange a thorough inspection and gain peace of mind.

Hazard Tree Risk Assessment in Wellington
Lean and Movement
A leaning trunk, lifting roots or soil movement can all be signs of trouble. We check whether the lean is old and stable or new and worsening, and explain what it means for the safety of the tree.
Targets and Surroundings
The danger from a tree depends on what it could hit. We consider houses, cars, paths, play areas and neighbouring properties, so the assessment reflects the real consequences if the tree or a branch were to fail.
Wind Exposure
Trees on exposed Wellington hillsides take a lot more wind than those in sheltered gardens. We take exposure into account when judging the risk, since a tree that is fine in shelter may be vulnerable on a ridge.
Risk Rating
You should not have to guess how serious a problem is. We give you a clear view of the level of risk and how urgent action is, so you can decide what to do and when to do it.
Action Options
Once we have assessed the risk, we explain your options clearly. These may include pruning, support, monitoring or removal, along with the pros and cons of each, so you can make a confident, well-informed decision.
