Schedule an Arborist Consultation for Expert Advice
The health of a tree frequently goes unnoticed by property owners until they see a change in the trees’ canopy. Signs of decline can include a sparse canopy, dieback of foliage on the branch tips, chlorotic or necrotic leaves, large limbs dying out, wilting leaves, chewed or skeletonized leaves along with an array of other signs and symptoms.
Tree health and structure can be impacted by climate, insects, disease, influences by humans or a combination of stressors. Most instances of a stressed or declining tree can be attributed to a combination of influences. Taking a proactive approach to your trees health can improve overall health and vigor thereby increasing your trees defense against negative impacts.
Our trained and skilled specialists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are properly equipped to provide expert care and advice. Well-cared-for trees are appealing and can be an asset to your property. Contrarily, poorly maintained trees can be a serious liability and decrease your property value.
Our priority is to help protect your investments by keeping your tree assets structurally sound and healthy. Our arborist consultations are thorough and complete to find the issues affecting your trees, thereby helping increase the value and appeal of your property!

Expert Tree Assessments in Austin
Whether you have questions about the safety and health of your trees, or you just moved into a new neighborhood, Capitol Tree Care’s arborists can help identify the risk of tree failure and any possible issues or defects affecting the overall well being of your trees and any potential threats they pose to you and your property. Healthy, desirable, mature trees account for a significant share of your property value and curb appeal. Identifying potential weaknesses before they become major problems can save you money and unwanted problems to mitigate against. Our trained arborists assess your trees and can provide you with a comprehensive assessment report identifying biotic and abiotic stressors and/or defects affecting the well being of your tree(s).
Every part of the tree is inspected, from the crown to the root system, for structural defects as well as any presence of pests and disease. Our comprehensive approach involves visually inspecting your trees from either the ground or in the canopy. Our Arborists observe your trees for some of the following defects, physical damage, poor structure and/or site changes:
- Poor branch unions
- Presence of decay
- Presence of disease
- Poor structure
- Over-extended and/or overloaded branches
- Buried Root Collars
- Site & Soil Grade Changes
- Overall health & vigor
- Previous improper pruning
- Physical damage
If disease or decay is present on the tree and is not easily identifiable via a ground-based assessment, necessary samples can be collected and sent for further analysis and diagnosis.
We complete our tree risk assessments in accordance with the International Society of Arboriculture(ISA) guidelines and training. Tree risk assessments compliment the City of Austin’s tree removal permit process and are legal documentation in the court of law. Request a Tree Risk Assessment
