Services
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.
Sometimes, an unbiased, educated and professional opinion is desired. From an informal walk thru, to a detailed report, a consulting arborist can offer clear comprehensive information regarding the value, management and potential liability of your trees and shrubs. While establishing a value on a tree or landscape can be challenging, it may become necessary when a tree has been wrongfully removed or injured.
Tree care is a science and an art form. It is also a serious business. Why would you have anyone other than an experienced, certified arborist treat your trees? Make sure the company you hire is a member in good standing of one of the professional organizations found on this site. We have the experience, training and equipment to do the job as prescribed by the latest industry standards.
Tree defects can lead to conditions where the chance tree branch failure is heightened. When pruning or removal of the defective part is not an option, cable and brace systems can be installed to abate the risks. This old oak tree had a large split down the trunk, held together by a cumbersome apparatus that was constricting the tree stem.
Probably the most overlooked aspect of tree care involves the landscape underground. Poor soils, compaction, drainage, and soil composition play a major role in tree health. We can provide soil testing and evaluation to determine the best treatment, if any is required. This old beech tree was showing signs of decline.
