Arborist Consultation Services

Trees are a vital asset to your property, but one that far too many homeowners in the greater Truckee-Tahoe region ignore. With an arborist consultation from the experts at Arbor Solutions, you can gain a greater insight into your trees and the problems they face. Our arborist consultation services include:

Assessments

Our Certified Arborists will conduct a thorough evaluation of your trees, assessing their health, vitality, and structural integrity. We'll identify any potential issues, such as disease, insect infestations, or storm damage, and recommend appropriate treatments.

Tree Inventory

We'll create a detailed inventory of your trees, documenting their species, size, age, and overall condition. This information will be invaluable for future planning and maintenance.

Tree Preservation

If you have upcoming construction or development plans, we'll work closely with your architect or contractor to ensure the preservation of your trees. Our team will develop strategies to protect your trees during the construction process, minimizing any potential damage.

Documentation

We can provide detailed arborist reports that document our findings and recommendations. These reports can be used for insurance purposes, legal proceedings, or simply to inform your future tree care decisions.

The Importance of an Arborist Consultation

Arborist consultations give you an opportunity to seek advice and recommendations from an ISA Certified Arborist. Certified Arborists are experts in the tree service industry who understand trees intimately and know what to do to keep them healthy and thriving. Some benefits of having an arborist perform a consultation on your property include:

  • Receive Official Documentation: After our assessment, we can provide comprehensive documentation, including arborist reports or tree inventories. These documents can be helpful when applying for permits or making informed decisions about your trees.

  • Catch Potential Problems Early: An arborist will be able to spot the signs of trouble, like insect damage, diseases and hazardous trees, earlier than most homeowners.

  • Increase Your Knowledge of Trees: With a tree inventory, you can learn more about your trees and the best way to deliver tree care to them in the future. 

  • Determine Your Trees’ Health: A tree may look healthy, but an arborist can identify subtle signs your tree is under stress.

  • Get Expert Recommendations: Taking care of your trees can be a complicated task. Our arborists can provide expert advice on the best method for caring for each tree on your property.

Who Can Benefit from an Arborist Consultation

If you’ve never considered an arborist consultation for your property, you may not realize how it can benefit you. Some of the typical clients we provide arborist consultations for include:

Property Owners with a Struggling Tree: If you have a tree that has never responded to treatment, our arborist consultation can tell you what’s wrong and make a suggestion on the best way to take care of it moving forward. 

Homeowners Planning a Construction Project: An arborist will work with the architect to help plan the project around your trees, provide documentation for permitting, and protect your trees from damage. 

Commercial Property Owners: A large commercial property can have a number of trees, and keeping track of their condition can be difficult without the help of an arborist and a tree inventory. 

Apartment Complex Owners: Trees add character and shade to the common areas of an apartment complex, and keeping them looking their best will encourage new tenants.

Educational Institutions: Schools and universities can benefit from having an arborist examine trees across the campus to identify any problems. 

Government Municipalities: Many municipal governments hire an arborist to inspect their street trees or any public parks under their jurisdiction.

FAQs

While both our consultations and free estimates cover similar ground, an arborist consultation is much more in-depth. We provide more information and recommendations to address your trees' individual needs, and we also provide official documentation about your trees for insurance or permitting purposes.

An ISA Certified Arborist can provide expert advice on a tree that goes beyond the average person’s knowledge base.

While regular consultations are always helpful, having an arborist perform a consultation after a major weather event or when a tree shows signs of stress is critical to maintaining tree health.

If you notice increased insect activity or your trees are displaying symptoms of decline, you should hire an arborist to perform an inspection so that they can assess current tree conditions and provide recommendations for treatment options.

Extremely Professional and Thorough

“James and his crew are extremely professional and thorough. Prompt and tidy as well! We thought we might lose our beautiful Japanese maple, but James did a great job with pruning and recommended a wonderful amendment that our dogs aren’t interested in eating. Now it is thriving, and we couldn’t be more grateful!!”
