Arborist Consulting
Expert arborist consulting services that provide professional guidance for tree care decisions, risk assessments, and long-term tree management.
Why You Need an Arborist
Trees are complex living organisms, and making decisions about their care is not always straightforward. Should you remove a tree or try to save it? Is that crack in the trunk a serious problem or just cosmetic? How do you protect valuable trees during construction? These are questions that require professional expertise. A certified arborist brings years of training and experience in tree biology, diagnosis, and care to help you make informed decisions.
Arborist consulting is particularly valuable when you are dealing with expensive trees, legal issues, insurance claims, construction projects, or local regulations. Property developers, homeowners, property managers, and municipalities all benefit from having a certified arborist assess their trees and provide written reports. These reports can be used to satisfy permit requirements, support insurance claims, settle property disputes, or guide long-term tree management plans.
Our certified arborists hold credentials from the International Society of Arboriculture, the industry standard for professional tree care. This means we have demonstrated advanced knowledge in tree biology, diagnosis, maintenance practices, and safety procedures through rigorous testing. When you hire us for consulting services, you are getting advice from qualified professionals who stay current with the latest research and best practices. Our consulting services give you the confidence to make the right decisions for your trees and your property.

One of our most common consulting services is tree risk assessment. This involves evaluating trees for structural defects, disease, decay, and other factors that could lead to failure. We use standardized assessment methods to determine the likelihood and consequences of tree failure, and we provide recommendations for mitigation. This is especially important for trees near homes, buildings, roads, or public spaces where a falling tree could cause serious damage or injury. If risk assessment identifies problems, we can also provide tree health and maintenance services to address them.
Construction and Development Consulting
Construction projects are one of the biggest threats to existing trees. Heavy equipment, soil compaction, root damage, and changes in drainage can all harm or kill trees, even if they are not directly in the construction zone. If you are planning a construction project and want to preserve existing trees, hiring an arborist consultant before work begins can save you time, money, and legal headaches.
We work with builders, developers, and property owners to create tree protection plans that identify which trees should be preserved, where protective fencing should be installed, and what construction practices should be used to minimize impact. We also monitor the site during construction to ensure that protection measures are being followed. After construction is complete, we can assess tree health and recommend any necessary treatments to help trees recover from stress.
Many local governments require tree protection plans as part of the permitting process for development projects. Our arborist reports meet these requirements and can help you obtain necessary permits faster. We also provide tree appraisals using industry-standard methods to determine the value of trees for insurance, legal, or compensation purposes. If you need to clear land for construction, our team can also handle land and lot clearing services as part of the overall project.
