Request a Tree Risk Assessment Near You
Describe a leaning, cracked, hanging, declining, or storm-affected tree for independent provider review and a possible qualified assessment.
Describe the request clearly
Give an available provider enough context to evaluate fit.
A tree may need professional assessment when it changes suddenly, has visible cracks or hanging limbs, leans toward a structure, shows root disturbance, or has storm damage. Certified Tree Leads collects the homeowner’s details for independent-provider review; it does not inspect the tree or decide whether removal, pruning, or another action is needed.
Certified Tree Leads is an independent request and provider-connection platform. It does not inspect the tree, prescribe work, set the provider's price, or perform tree service.
A tree has begun leaning, cracking, uprooting, dropping limbs, or changing after a storm
A limb, trunk, canopy, root area, or palm is close to a roof, vehicle, driveway, fence, pool, or access route
The homeowner is unsure whether trimming, removal, or a professional assessment is the right next step
A concern involves a tree near utilities, neighboring property, traffic, or limited equipment access
Safety first
Use emergency and utility services before the request form when necessary.
A visible tree change can indicate a hazard, but a website cannot determine the level of risk. Keep people clear of the area, do not perform DIY cutting, and use emergency or utility services for active danger.
Details to include in your request
Describe what changed, when you first noticed it, and what structures, routes, or property areas may be affected.
Take wide photos from a safe distance that show the full tree, base, canopy, nearby structures, and access route.
Note visible cracks, hanging limbs, root movement, soil changes, storm damage, utility lines, fences, pools, and other hazards.
State whether the concern is immediate, whether the area can be approached safely, and what preferred contact timing works for you.
Questions for an independent provider
What type of qualified inspection or assessment is appropriate for this concern?
What safety boundary, utility coordination, equipment, or access conditions need to be addressed before work?
What options, limitations, and written scope will the provider explain after an inspection?
What current credentials, insurance, licensing, or arborist qualifications apply to the assessment or proposed work?

Clear expectations before a possible provider handoff.
Can Certified Tree Leads tell me whether a tree is safe?
No. Certified Tree Leads does not inspect trees. An independent provider is responsible for any assessment, recommendation, scope, credentials, and work.
Should I approach a cracked or leaning tree to take a photo?
No. Stay at a safe distance. If a tree threatens people, a structure, a road, or utility lines, move to safety and use emergency or utility services first.
Does a risk-assessment request guarantee a provider appointment?
No. Any possible connection depends on the request, location, service coverage, availability, and safe access.
