TRAQ-Certified Tree Risk Assessment
The Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) from the International Society of Arboriculture is the gold standard for evaluating tree hazards. Our ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, Christopher Johnson, holds this credential and performs Level 1 (Limited Visual), Level 2 (Basic), and Level 3 (Advanced) assessments per ISA TRAQ methodology. These assessments produce standardized, defensible reports that insurance companies, municipal risk managers, and property management firms recognize and require. If your trees need to be evaluated for risk, our reports carry the weight of the highest credentials in the industry.
Insurance & Liability Documentation
Insurance carriers increasingly require documented tree risk assessments as a condition of coverage for commercial properties. Our TRAQ reports include detailed identification of defects, assignment of risk ratings using the ISA risk matrix, recommended mitigation timelines, and photographic documentation. These reports protect property owners and managers by demonstrating proactive risk management—a critical factor when liability claims arise from tree failures. For HOA boards managing dozens or hundreds of trees, systematic TRAQ assessments provide a defensible record of due diligence.
Municipal & Utility Infrastructure Assessments
Cities, counties, and utility companies across Brevard County rely on professional tree risk assessments to manage public safety and infrastructure protection. Our assessments evaluate trees along roadways, in public parks, near power lines, and adjacent to municipal buildings. As both an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist and ISA Certified Utility Specialist, Christopher Johnson brings unique dual expertise to infrastructure-adjacent assessments. Reports are formatted to integrate with municipal asset management systems and support budget allocation for maintenance or removal.
Post-Storm Damage Assessment
After severe weather, trees that survived the storm may still pose serious risks due to hidden structural damage. Root plate lifting, crown failures masked by remaining foliage, and bark stripping that exposes heartwood to decay are all common post-storm hazards. Our TRAQ assessments identify these latent risks before they result in secondary failures. For property managers overseeing large portfolios, systematic post-storm assessments provide prioritized action lists and documentation that supports emergency removal approvals and insurance claims.
