What does a Tree Evaluation Cost?

Price is determined by the amount of time necessary to complete the project.

Tree Health Evaluation for Home Owners.
includes a free 20 page illustrated booklet on caring for trees in Idaho soils and types of irrigation management.
This starts with a 20 minute sit down with the client, going over the booklet so there is an understanding of how trees grow in healthy environments and what to look out for in tree issues.

The next step is to go out in the yard for 25 minutes and review the trees in the actual landscape. The illustrated booklet has been developed over ten years and does an amazing job of educating the home owner quickly so often they recognize the problems with their trees.
Cost is $65 for the House Call and the 45 minute review (time is billed at 15 minute increments of $17, for time past the initial 45 minutes).

Tree Risk Assessmentas per ISA Levels of Tree Risk Assessment

Level Three:Advanced Assessment of a single tree, report with legal reference $Bid                      with additional fees for consulting with secondary parties and court time
                     
Clients are often not sure which level they need; you can request a Level One with the understanding that if it is not adequate to complete the assignment, the Level One inspection report will explain that, and can be upgraded at the time of inspection by phone or text approval from the client.

Tree Valuation
This can range from $65 to $375, or more, depending on the scope of the project.
The first step is to set a time to go over the situation with Ted Smith on the  phone (he will need to be in the office), once the elements of the project are understood, and a scope has been written up, a firm price can be quoted for the work.
Depending on the real property involved in the project, a real estate appraiser may need to be added to the total.
