Red Mountain Rigging
Tree Risk Assessment in Calgary & the Rockies
Certified arborist evaluations to protect your property, improve tree health, and prevent hazards before they happen.
Why Tree Risk Assessment Matters
Trees add value, shade, and beauty to your property — but they can also become hidden hazards. Weak limbs, root problems, or structural issues may not be obvious until it’s too late. In storm-prone and wildfire-sensitive areas like Calgary, Cochrane, Bragg Creek, Redwood Meadows, Canmore, and Banff, a falling tree can mean serious property damage, personal injury, or costly emergency removals.
A professional tree risk assessment from Red Mountain Rigging provides peace of mind. Our certified arborists inspect your trees for signs of disease, decay, or instability, helping you make informed decisions about pruning, removal, or monitoring.
When to Schedule a Tree Risk Assessment
You may need an assessment if you notice:
- Trees leaning or shifting after storms
- Dead or dying branches overhanging your home, driveway, or power lines
- Cracks in the trunk or splitting at major branch unions
- Fungal growth, cavities, or hollow spots in the trunk
- Visible root damage or soil heaving around the base
- Trees close to construction sites or newly disturbed soil

FAQs About Stump Grinding
How often should I have my trees assessed?
Every 2–3 years is recommended, or sooner if your property has large trees near structures or after major storms.
Do all trees need a risk assessment?
Not always. High-value, large, or potentially hazardous trees benefit most from professional evaluation.
Can you recommend treatments instead of removal?
Yes. Often pruning, cabling, or soil improvements can reduce risk without removing the tree.
Will you provide a written report?
Yes — we provide clear documentation of findings and recommendations for your records.
Are assessments covered by insurance?
Some insurers may recognize assessments as preventative care — check with your provider.
