When people look for a tree expert they rarely think about seeking the advice of a Consulting Arborist first. But in many cases, a Consulting Arborist is exactly what you need. American Society of Consulting Arborists (ASCA) Registered Consulting Arborists are the expert’s tree experts. Trained by ASCA to provide assistance with complex tree issues, we offer guidance to municipal and governmental agencies, developers, attorneys and insurance agencies, homeowners, and even other arborists.
ASCA Registered Consulting Arborists are distinguished from certified arborists by their ability to provide expert witness testimony, appraisals of the value of trees for insurance or litigation purposes, and to provide guidance for the preservation of the health and beauty of trees. While a certified or licensed arborist may adequately fulfill standard tree care operations such as tree pruning or removal, there are many instances where only an ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist can fulfill your needs.
Developers, contractors, architects, planners, and environmental consultants can benefit from our expertise in areas such as writing Tree Preservation Plans, aiding in preparing Tree Selections, and providing Specification Preparations.
Attorneys and insurance companies depend on us for support in litigation and expert witness testimony. We are often called upon to provide appraisals of damaged or destroyed trees, or to offer our opinions on tree failures resulting in loss.
Tree Inventories and Tree Risk Assessment Reports help tree wardens, municipal agencies, golf courses, and parks manage their urban forests. We also provide oversight and specifications to ensure that work performed by contractors ranging from tree trimming to sidewalk construction does not damage the client’s trees.
