How Tree Snapshot Works

Tree Snapshot · Remote first look · Nationwide

Wondering what to do about your tree? Start with a certified arborist’s eyes on it.

A tree can leave you with a lot of questions. Does that change deserve attention? Is pruning the next step? Should someone inspect it in person? Tree Snapshot gives you a practical starting point from photos, before you decide what to do next.

Your submission is personally reviewed by Jeremy VanMaanen the Arborist. You’re paying for a certified arborist’s review of what you share.

Is Tree Snapshot right for you?

It’s a useful starting point when you have a non-emergency tree question, can provide photos, and want a professional first look before committing to further work. It’s available nationwide because the review happens remotely.

Some questions need an onsite visit

A photo review cannot reveal everything about roots, internal decay, structural condition or the surrounding site. Tree Snapshot is a remote first look, not an onsite inspection, formal tree risk assessment, or a guarantee that a tree is safe. Onsite consulting and written reports are separate services.

If a tree or limb appears to pose an immediate danger, keep people away and contact appropriate local emergency help or your utility. Don’t wait for a remote review.

Before you start

Will a certified arborist actually review my submission?

Yes. Jeremy personally reviews Tree Snapshot submissions as an ISA Certified Arborist. The service is built around that professional review.

Can you tell me for certain whether a tree will fall?

No. Photos cannot establish every condition affecting a tree. The review can help identify visible concerns and sensible next steps; it cannot certify safety or predict failure.

Does this include tree work, an onsite visit or a formal report?

The $79 covers the remote Tree Snapshot review. Tree work, onsite consulting and formal written reports are separately scoped and priced. If you already need those services, see tree and arborist services.

What if my concern is about a tree I don’t own?

If your goal is to organize dated photos, observations and communications about someone else’s tree, see how ArborLock Pro works. Documentation and professional tree assessment serve different purposes.
