Tree Health, Risk Assessment & Arborist Guidance for Local Properties
SRT Forestry provides arborist service in Santa Rosa, CA for homeowners, property managers, rural landowners, and commercial sites that need help understanding what is going on with their trees.

Arborist Services for Tree Health, Safety & Preservation
Arborist work is different from general cutting. The goal is to understand the tree before making a decision. That may mean checking the canopy, trunk, root zone, soil, site conditions, disease symptoms, storm damage, and nearby property risks.
Certified Arborist Service
Get guidance on tree condition and the options for care or removal. Certified arborist service can help you decide which inspections, assessments, or follow-up work fit the concern.
ISA Certified Arborist Services
Discuss tree concerns with an ISA-certified arborist. This service brings professional tree-care guidance to health questions, pruning decisions, preservation, and potential hazards.
Arborist Consultation
Talk through a tree concern and decide which assessment or next step makes sense.
Tree Inspection
We inspect trees for visible problems like deadwood, cracks, lean, decay, root issues, weak unions, pests, disease signs, and site stress.
Tree Risk Assessment
Evaluate a concerning tree and its surroundings before choosing how to respond.
Tree Diagnosis
Yellowing leaves, early leaf drop, dead tips, fungus, bark damage, or a thinning canopy can point to health issues. Tree diagnosis helps identify what may be happening.
Tree Diagnostics
Investigate signs of tree stress by considering symptoms, tree condition, and the surrounding site. Findings help guide care, monitoring, or a more specific assessment.
Tree Health Assessment
Review the tree’s overall condition, including its canopy, trunk, and root zone. A health assessment helps identify care priorities and changes that may need attention.
Tree Disease Diagnosis
Review symptoms that may indicate disease and consider other possible causes of decline. The assessment helps guide recommendations for care and the next steps for affected trees.
Tree Preservation
Explore care and protection for trees you want to keep.
Tree Preservation Planning
Plan protection for trees near proposed construction or other property changes. Consider the root zone, nearby activity, and how retained trees will be cared for during the work.
Root Aeration
Address compacted soil and limited airflow around tree roots where aeration is appropriate. Root-zone conditions are considered alongside the tree’s wider health and care needs.
Oak Tree Care
Oaks are a major part of Sonoma County landscapes. We help with deadwood concerns, root-zone issues, and pruning decisions that support long-term health.
Deadwood Removal
Remove dead branches that can affect the tree and the space below it. We consider branch location, access, and nearby structures when planning the work.
Tree Surgery
Assess corrective tree work for damaged or problem growth. The scope depends on the tree’s condition and can connect to pruning, damaged-limb removal, and other arborist care.
Organic Tree Care
Discuss tree care that considers soil, roots, and the growing environment. Recommendations depend on the tree’s condition and the needs of the particular site.
Plant Analysis
Review plant symptoms and growing conditions to help understand changes in health. Analysis supports decisions about care and whether a more specific assessment is needed.
Site Evaluation
Look at how the property affects its trees. Access, nearby structures, soil conditions, and planned changes can inform decisions about tree care and future work.
Root Management
Tree problems can begin below ground. We consider root-zone stress, compaction, drainage, damage, and nearby hardscape when discussing care and protection for roots.
Good Arborist Work Starts With Looking at the Whole Site
A tree problem is not always caused by the tree itself. Soil, roots, irrigation, grade changes, construction, drought stress, pests, disease, bad pruning, and storm damage can all affect tree health. That is why we look at the tree and the area around it before recommending work.
If the tree can be kept, we may recommend pruning, deadwood removal, preservation planning, root aeration, root management, or monitoring. If the tree is too risky to keep, we may recommend hazardous tree removal or another tree service option.
- Look at the tree: We check canopy condition, deadwood, cracks, wounds, branch structure, and visible health signs.
- Look at the roots: We consider compaction, root damage, grade changes, exposed roots, and nearby hardscape.
- Look at the site: Homes, fences, driveways, slopes, fire clearance, and access all matter.
- Choose the right next step: Sometimes the answer is preservation. Sometimes the answer is removal. We help you sort that out.

questions
Common questions from property owners who need help with tree health, safety, and preservation.
Need to discuss your particular tree or property? Get in touch.
When should I call for arborist service?
Call for arborist service if a tree is leaning, dropping large limbs, showing dead branches, losing leaves early, growing fungus, cracking, declining, or sitting too close to a home, driveway, fence, or utility area.
Is arborist service different from tree service?
Yes. Tree service is often the physical work, like removal, pruning, trimming, clearing, or cleanup. Arborist service is more focused on tree health, diagnosis, risk, preservation, and deciding what should happen before work begins.
Can an arborist help save a tree?
Sometimes. If the tree is still structurally sound and the issue can be managed, preservation may be possible. If the tree is severely decayed, unstable, or dangerous, removal may be the safer choice.
Do you help with oak trees?
Yes. Oaks are common and important in Santa Rosa and Sonoma County. We help with oak tree care, deadwood concerns, pruning decisions, root zone issues, and preservation planning.
