Sometimes the most valuable thing we do is tell you a tree is fine. Other times it is spotting the crack, the decay, or the failing root plate that no one else noticed. Either way, an honest assessment saves you money and worry.

Whether you are buying a property, worried about a tree over the house, planning construction near mature trees, or just want a second opinion after another company said “take it all down,” we will give you a straight, experienced answer. Our reviews are full of customers thanking us for advice we gave that saved them a tree — or a bad decision.

What you get with Hayworth Tree Service

  • Second opinions before major removals
  • Tree preservation guidance for construction
  • Written notes for insurance, sale, or planning

When to Get an Assessment

A tree over the house

You lie awake in windstorms wondering about that big tree. A risk assessment tells you whether it is sound, needs work, or should come down.

Buying or selling a home

Know what you are getting — or what you are responsible for — before the deal closes. We evaluate the trees on the property.

Building near trees

Grading, trenching, and traffic can quietly kill mature trees. We advise on how to protect the ones you want to keep.

A second opinion

Another company said remove it. Before you do, let us take an honest look — sometimes there is a better option.

Our Consulting Process

  1. 01

    Listen to your concern

    We start with what is worrying you — a lean, a dead limb, a plan, a price you were quoted — so we assess the right things.

  2. 02

    Inspect thoroughly

    We examine the canopy, trunk, root flare, and site conditions, looking for the signs that predict how a tree will behave.

  3. 03

    Explain it plainly

    No jargon. We tell you what we found, how serious it is, and what your realistic options are.

  4. 04

    Give you a plan

    Whether it is “do nothing and check back in a year,” pruning, cabling, or removal, you leave knowing exactly what to do next.

What Affects Consulting Cost

A basic on-site opinion as part of an estimate is free. More involved assessments and written reports are scoped to what you need:

Scope of the assessment

A quick look at one worrisome tree is different from evaluating every tree on an acreage or a development site.

Documentation

A verbal recommendation is free with our estimates; a written report for insurance, legal, or planning takes more time.

Number of trees

Assessing a whole property or a stand of trees is more involved than a single specimen.

Follow-up work

If the plan includes pruning, cabling, or removal, we roll the recommendation into that estimate.

What our customers say

“Very prompt with estimates and then getting the work done. The cost was very reasonable. The owner gave us advice on a couple other trees that was much appreciated. We will definitely be using them again soon!”
Elizabeth Haiderera year ago
“Highly recommend Hayworth Tree Service. I reached out early this spring and had a response in a timely manner. Much to my surprise they contacted me and had availability the following day. The process and clean up was fantastic. The tree was very large, next to my house and had some wires to work around. Very professional service. I'd call them again for any tree service needs!”
Sara Martens2 months ago
“Steven and his crew took great care of me. I had some major trees along the back of my house that needed to go. Steven was great in communication all the way from estimates to scheduling and completion. His quote beat most but I was happy to pay more than a few based on his knowledge, experience and skill.”
