A fit
- A buyer, or an owner who wants a plain list before storm season.

What happens when we look at the trees before you buy a home
A pre-purchase look tells you which trees are fine, which to watch, and which need pruning or removal before you own them. It is a plain look at the trees, not a certified report.
Key takeaways
- We evaluate a tree before we recommend removal. That evaluation is free to ask for.
- The useful list is keep, watch, prune, or remove.
- Cracks, mushrooms at the base, a worsening lean, a dead limb over the roof, and roots lifting a walk are reasons to slow down.
- This is not an insurance appraisal and not a city permit.
Marion County houses often sit under live oaks that are older than the roof. The pretty canopy can hide a hollow trunk or a limb aimed at the bedroom. Looking before you close beats discovering it in a storm.
Who this job is for
A different service
- You already know the tree is coming out. Book removal.
- You want a survey or a home inspection. We look at trees, not the wiring.

What happens, in order
- 01
Look
Trunk, base, lean, and what the crown is over.
- 02
Decide
Keep, watch, prune, or remove. One reason each.
- 03
Do
This visit is the look, unless you already asked for the work.
- 04
Leave
You can take the list to the seller or book the work. Pruning and removal are tree services.
If the look finds old topping, read topped trees before you agree to "just cut it back again."

Ask for a tree evaluation and say you are buying. Photos of the trunks and the roof line help.
