When You Need an Arborist Consultant
Construction projects are a common reason for arborist consultations. Building near existing trees requires careful planning to avoid root damage, soil compaction, and other issues that kill trees years later. We create tree protection zones, monitor construction activities, and document compliance with protection standards. This protects both the trees and the property owner from future liability.
Legal situations also require arborist expertise. Boundary disputes involving trees, damage claims, permit appeals, and HOA conflicts all benefit from professional documentation and testimony. Our written reports provide credible evidence that stands up in court or mediation. We maintain professional liability insurance and follow industry standards for all consulting work. For ongoing care after consultation, we also provide comprehensive maintenance services.
Tree Risk Assessment
One of our most requested consulting services is tree risk assessment. We evaluate trees for potential failure and recommend appropriate action. This is essential for high-traffic areas, trees near structures, or situations where liability is a concern. Our assessments follow the ISA Tree Risk Assessment protocol, the industry standard recognized by insurance companies and courts.
Risk assessment considers the tree's condition, the likelihood of failure, and the potential consequences if failure occurs. Not every defect requires removal. Many trees can be retained with proper maintenance, cabling, or other mitigation measures. We help you balance safety, aesthetics, and costs. When removal is necessary, we can handle that too with our professional tree removal services.
