The Consulting Process

Here's what happens when you hire us for arborist consulting:

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We start by discussing your concerns and objectives. This might be a phone call or on-site meeting where you explain what you need. We clarify the scope of work and provide a cost estimate for the consulting service.

Step 2: Site Evaluation

Our certified arborist visits your property to examine the trees in question. We assess tree health, structural integrity, disease or pest issues, and environmental factors. We take measurements, photos, and detailed notes about each tree's condition.

Step 3: Analysis and Recommendations

We analyze our findings and develop recommendations based on industry best practices. This might include treatment options, pruning specifications, removal recommendations, or long-term care plans. We consider your goals, budget, and the practical realities of your property.

Step 4: Written Report Delivery

You receive a comprehensive written report detailing our findings and recommendations. Reports include photos, diagrams, and clear explanations you can share with contractors, insurance companies, or other parties. We're available to answer questions and clarify any part of the report.

When You Need Professional Tree Assessment

Arborist consulting is valuable whenever you're making important decisions about trees. If you're planning to build near existing trees, you need to know which ones can be saved and how to protect them during construction. Tree damage from construction is often irreversible, so planning ahead saves valuable specimens.

Property disputes between neighbors often involve trees. A professional arborist report provides objective documentation that helps resolve conflicts. Insurance claims for tree damage also require expert assessment to determine value and appropriate compensation. For ongoing care after our assessment, we provide complete tree health services. When removal is necessary, our professional removal team handles the work safely.
