Tree Assessments & Risk Inspections – Grafton & Clarence Valley

Not all tree hazards are visible. Leaning trunks, hidden decay, or unstable limbs can pose serious risks — especially near buildings, schools, and driveways.

At Grafton Tree Service, our qualified arborists provide professional tree assessments and risk reports for residential, commercial and public properties across the Clarence Valley.

We assess tree health, structure and placement to determine if removal, pruning, or monitoring is required — helping you make informed, safe decisions.
