When You Need an Arborist Consultation
Many situations call for professional arborist expertise beyond basic tree service. If you're buying or selling property, an arborist evaluation can identify tree hazards and potential liabilities before closing. Construction projects near trees require careful planning to protect root systems and prevent damage that could kill valuable trees years later.
Legal and Insurance Matters
Disputes between neighbors about trees, damage claims after storms, or questions about tree-related property damage often require expert opinions. We provide objective, science-based assessments that help resolve these situations. Our reports document tree conditions, estimate values, and explain what happened and why.
Risk Assessment for Hazardous Trees
Not sure if a tree is dangerous? We perform formal risk assessments using standardized protocols. These assessments evaluate the likelihood of failure, the tree's structural condition, and the potential consequences if something goes wrong. Based on this analysis, we recommend appropriate actions, which might range from monitoring to immediate removal.
Construction and Development Planning
Building near existing trees requires careful planning to protect them. We create tree protection plans that specify how to preserve trees during construction, including root protection zones, trunk protection measures, and limits on grade changes. If you're planning construction or development, our consulting can help you comply with tree preservation ordinances while protecting valuable trees. For projects requiring tree removal, we also provide professional removal services. After consulting identifies trees that need maintenance, our trimming and pruning team can handle the work.
