Tree Risk Assessment Report

ISA-qualified tree risk assessment documenting species, condition, structural defects, targets, and risk ratings per TRAQ methodology.

What's Inside

What a tree risk assessment report covers

A tree risk assessment report follows ISA TRAQ methodology to evaluate species condition, structural defects, target zones, and overall risk. It's the document that municipalities require before issuing removal permits, that insurance companies reference for liability claims, and that property owners need to make informed decisions about their trees. For arborists, this report is where field expertise meets professional documentation.

Sample Output

What the AI generates

You speak your observations in plain language. ReportWalk transforms them into professional findings with proper terminology, measurements, and recommendations. Here are examples from a tree risk assessment report:

Tree #7: Red oak (Quercus rubra), 28" DBH, approximately 65 feet tall — codominant stems with included bark at 12-foot union, prior failure of 6" limb on south side

Root zone: Surface roots exposed and showing mechanical damage from mowing — 3 roots with wounds exceeding 2" width within critical root zone

Crown: 25% dieback in upper canopy, epicormic sprouting on main scaffold limbs — indicators of decline, possibly drought stress or root zone compaction

Structural defect: Trunk cavity at 4-foot height, opening approximately 8x12 inches — sounding indicates hollow area extending 18+ inches, wall thickness unknown without resistograph

Risk rating: High — high likelihood of failure (codominant stem with included bark) + high consequences (target is occupied patio and walkway). Recommend cable/brace or crown reduction within 60 days

Real examples of AI-generated findings from voice input. Your report will use your observations, your photos, your professional judgment — just without the typing.
