Frequently Asked Questions
A consulting arborist specializes in the assessment and evaluation of trees and provides professional guidance on a wide range of tree-related issues. Rather than focusing on performing tree work, a consulting arborist provides objective opinions, technical analysis, and recommendations to help property owners, managers, attorneys, design professionals, and others make informed decisions about trees.
Yes. All assessments are performed by an ISA Certified Arborist with the qualifications and experience appropriate for the scope of the project.
No. TotaliTREE Consulting Group is an independent consulting firm and does not perform tree removal, pruning, or other production tree work. Keeping our consulting services separate from tree work allows our recommendations to remain objective and focused on what we believe is appropriate for the tree and the situation.
A consulting arborist can help whenever you need an independent professional opinion about a tree or tree-related issue. This may include concerns about tree health or safety, construction near trees, permitting and development, tree valuation, disputes, or situations where you simply need a better understanding of your options before deciding how to proceed.
The scope of each consultation depends on the questions being asked and the level of information needed. A consultation may involve a visual assessment, site measurements, review of relevant documents or plans, or more advanced diagnostic testing. We will discuss the appropriate scope with you so the work is focused on providing the information needed for your particular situation.
