What to Expect When You Book

A professional tree assessment starts with a thorough site inspection. In San Jose and the surrounding areas, where high winds, shallow soils, and mature urban trees create unique hazards, we examine trunk condition, branch structure, root stability, and environmental stressors. We use resistance drills to detect internal decay, measure lean angles, and inspect root plates for heaving or fungal growth that signals instability.

You'll receive a detailed report from Premier Tree Service that includes findings, risk ratings, and recommended actions. Insurance documentation includes photos, measurements, and condition summaries for claims or liability purposes. Pre-construction evaluations identify trees that may be affected by grading, trenching, or equipment access, helping you plan protection measures before work begins.

For commercial properties and HOAs, we provide ongoing maintenance recommendations that prioritize trees based on hazard level and help you budget for future care. Liability assessments address concerns about trees near public walkways, parking lots, or neighboring properties. Our reports are clear, thorough, and designed to support decision-making without unnecessary jargon in San Jose and the surrounding areas.
