What We Do

01

Consulting Arborist Reports

Comprehensive written reports for development projects, municipal permits, insurance claims, and homeowners. Many cities and counties require an arborist report before a tree can be removed or impacted on private or public property, with each municipality having its own specific regulations and permitting requirements.

02

Tree Health Diagnosis

Identification of biotic and abiotic stressors including pest infestations, fungal pathogens, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental stress. Treatment plans built on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles.

03

Pruning Specifications

ANSI A300-compliant pruning specifications for maintenance, clearance, risk reduction, and structural development. Tailored to species biology, site conditions, and client objectives.

04

Construction Protection

Tree protection plans for development and construction projects.

05

Urban Forest Planning

Species selection, planting design, and long-term management strategies for municipalities, HOAs, and commercial properties. Climate-adapted recommendations for Southern California landscapes.

06

Nursery Tree Inspections

We work with landscape designers and architects to select high-quality nursery stock for their projects. Many structural and health issues originate at the nursery, and these defects can become significant — and sometimes permanent — problems after planting. An arborist's expertise in tree anatomy, physiology, and growth structure ensures informed decisions are made before purchase and installation, reducing long-term maintenance costs and promoting healthy, well-structured trees.

07

Real Estate Tree Assessments

When buying or selling a home, it is essential to understand the health, safety, and value of a property's trees. Recognizing trees that contribute significant value to the property — as well as identifying hazardous trees or trees in poor condition — can be beneficial for homeowners to understand management and associated costs.
