Tree Inspection FAQs

How much does a professional tree inspection cost?

The cost of a tree inspection varies depending on the number of trees, property size, and the level of assessment required. Contact us for a personalized quote today.

How long does a tree inspection take?

A typical residential inspection takes 1-2 hours, but this can vary based on the number and complexity of trees on your property.

What's the difference between a basic visual inspection and using the Resistograph?

A visual inspection assesses the external health and structure of the tree, whereas the Resistograph allows us to detect internal decay or hollows that aren't visible from the outside.
