An online tool cannot see the entire tree, inspect roots beneath the soil, sound wood for decay, evaluate every branch union, or understand every site condition.
What it can do is help organize the information you already have. That can make it easier to decide whether the next step should be pruning, removal, soil and root care, fertilization, additional observation, or an on-site inspection.
Before contacting us, it may help to know:
- Tree species, if known
- Approximate tree size
- What changed and when
- Whether storm damage occurred
- What is beneath or near the tree
- Whether symptoms affect one tree or several
- Recent construction or soil disturbance
- Photos of the tree and surrounding property
Important: These tools are provided for educational and preliminary screening purposes. Results are not a diagnosis, professional tree risk assessment, engineering opinion, guarantee of tree condition, or guarantee of future performance.
If a tree or branch appears to present an immediate danger to people, vehicles, buildings, utilities, or other property, avoid the area and contact an appropriate tree care professional or emergency service as the situation requires.
