Tree Risk Assessments

Professional Tree Risk Assessments by an ISA Certified Arborist

​

Trees provide significant environmental, aesthetic, and property value benefits, but like any living structure, they can develop defects, weaknesses, and conditions that may increase the likelihood of failure.

JC Forestry Inc. provides professional Tree Risk Assessments throughout the GTA and surrounding areas, helping homeowners, municipalities, property managers, and businesses identify potential tree hazards and make informed decisions regarding tree care and risk mitigation.

Our assessments are completed by an ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified (TRAQ) professional and provide practical recommendations focused on tree health, structural stability, and public safety.

​

When Is a Tree Risk Assessment Needed?

A Tree Risk Assessment may be recommended when:

• A tree is large, mature, or located near targets such as homes, driveways, trails, or structures

• A tree shows signs of decline or poor health

• There are visible defects such as cracks, cavities, decay, or included bark

• A tree has experienced storm damage

• There are concerns about falling branches or tree failure

• A property owner is buying or selling a property

• Construction or development is occurring near existing trees

• A municipality or insurance provider requires an assessment

What's Included in Our Tree Risk Assessments?

Our professional assessments may include:

✔ Detailed visual tree inspection
✔ Species identification
✔ Tree measurements and site observations
✔ Evaluation of tree health and structure
✔ Identification of defects and potential hazards
✔ Assessment of site conditions and surrounding targets
✔ Evaluation of likelihood of failure
✔ Risk mitigation recommendations
✔ Pruning, cabling, monitoring, or removal recommendations (where applicable)

Our goal is not simply to identify problems, but to provide realistic solutions that balance tree preservation with safety.
