What is a Consulting Arborist?
Consulting arborists are considered the preeminent authorities on matters related to tree and plant life—ensuring through their expertise and objectivity the safety, preservation, functionality and beauty of our natural surroundings. When a problem occurs—if a tree causes damage, is damaged by others or becomes a public safety hazard—a source for advice and mediation is often needed. This is the role of the consulting arborist: to bring a comprehensive, objective viewpoint to the diagnosis, appraisal and evaluation of arboricultural issues.
