Consulting Arborist

Consulting arborist – Individuals that focus solely on consulting. Often they have specialized tools and knowledge to determine if a tree is hazardous or general health of a tree. These tools can range from equipment that can give a person a visual perspective of the inside of a tree to measuring the health of an individual leaf.

- Health and risk assessment
- Testing
- Permits, plans, reports
- Treatments
- Vegetation inventory
- Construction and infrastructure
- Trees appraisals
- Expert witness in litigation
- Specialty projects
