What is another term for an "advanced" tree risk assessment?

An "advanced" tree risk assessment is often referred to as a Level 3 assessment. This type of assessment involves thorough and detailed evaluations of tree health and stability, typically utilizing specialized tools and techniques. It goes beyond basic visual inspections and includes assessments of tree structure, root condition, and site factors that contribute to overall health and risk levels.

At this level, arborists may conduct more intricate analyses, such as using decay detection tools or employing detailed metrics and measurements to gauge a tree's risk of failure. The term "Level 3" implies a higher degree of complexity and depth in the assessment process, distinguishing it from more basic evaluations that may not provide the same level of insight into the tree's condition and safety.

In contrast, other assessment levels either indicate more basic evaluations or different aspects of tree risk assessments, making Level 3 the appropriate terminology for an advanced evaluation of tree risk.
