Trees growing without parental influence in strange and often hostile environments require special considerations. Selecting appropriate species, creating plant communities and performing timely treatments are the keys to longevity. Many Certified Arborists may offer consulting services, but a true Consulting Arborist is more likely to offer an independent, unbiased qualified opinion. From a short property walk-through to professional report preparation and expert witness testimony, we can provide tree assessment, management, and appraisal information as required.
