ProfessionalTree Risk Assessment
Novi is home to some of Southeast Michigan’s most beautiful residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors, and trees are a defining part of that landscape.
But even the most impressive large trees can become potential hazards when disease, storm damage, or structural decline goes undetected.
At Ascension Tree Care, our ISA Certified Arborists deliver expert tree care services built around protecting your property, your family, and the trees you value most.
If you’re a property owner or one of the area’s many property managers, a professional tree risk assessment is the first step to making informed decisions about the trees on your property.
Tree Risk Assessments By TRAQ Qualified Arborists
Why Tree Risk Assessments Matter
Trees enhance curb appeal and support healthy growth in your landscape, but a failing tree is a liability.
High winds, heavy snow, and ice storms, common to Southeast Michigan can expose weaknesses in trees that appear healthy on the surface.
Without proper tree maintenance and regular inspections, the results can be costly or even dangerous.
Neglected hazardous trees can lead to:
- Falling branches or a full tree failure causing serious property damage.
- Root system intrusion into underground pipes or cracked pavement
- Disease or pests spread to otherwise healthy trees nearby.
As a tree owner, you are liable for the damage your tree causes if action isn’t taken. A professional tree assessment by a qualified arborist is the most effective way to address these risks.
Our Tree Risk Assessment Process
Level 1 - Limited Visual Assessment
Our arborists begin with a broad survey of your property, identifying high-risk trees that warrant closer inspection.
This efficient first pass allows us to prioritize which trees need immediate attention and which are thriving with healthy growth.
Level 2 - Basic Tree Assessment
A close-up, all-sides inspection of each flagged tree.
Our team checks for visible cracks, wounds, deadwood, signs of decay, and how the tree’s canopy and roots interact with surrounding structures.
Rubber mallets and open cavity probes help us detect problems that aren’t immediately visible.
Level 3 - Advanced Health Assessment
For trees that need a deeper look, we deploy specialized equipment including resistographs, sonic tomography, and ground-penetrating radar.
These tools let us evaluate internal decay, root system health, and structural integrity without damaging the tree itself.
Tree Risk Solutions for Novi Property Owners
Once our assessment is complete, we walk you through all findings and work with you to develop the right plan for your specific needs.
Depending on the tree species and condition, solutions may include tree pruning to remove deadwood and reduce structural risk, cabling or bracing for trees with compromised integrity, tree fertilization and Plant Health Care programs to support recovery, and pest or fungal treatment to stop the spread of disease.
When a tree is beyond saving, our emergency tree services ensure safe, efficient removal with minimal impact on your property.
