Landscape assessment
Healthy landscapes are all about putting the right plant in the right place. With a background in horticulture we can diagnose and identity pests and pathogens. Whether it’s trees, shrubs, annuals, or perennials we can help provide you with information to help improve the health of your landscape.
Tree risk assessment
A tree risk assessment can provide you the information you need to safely manage your trees. Mitigating potential risks will allow you to retain the benefits that your tree provides while making sure it is safe to you and those around you.
plant appraisals
Whether it’s saving on your energy bills or providing economic value to your real estate our landscapes offer numerous ecosystem services to our communities. Appraisals can help you recuperate your financial loses in litigation, insurance, or for tax purposes.
tree consulting
As an expert in trees we provide professional advice and opinion in all tree related matters. Whether you need an expert witness, permits for tree removal, or just want to learn more about your trees we can help.
tree inventories
With training in Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) we can collect tree information for use in numerous applications. From field work to the creation of online webmaps we can help you better manage your natural resources.
land use reporting
Preserving large mature trees in the landscape starts with having the right information. Whether it’s in the design, planning, or construction phase of a project we can help you with development around trees.
Timber testing
Using a Rinntech Resistograph® micro resistance drill we can detect the presence and extent of decay in wood to help determine structural integrity. From trees to telephone polls we can help.
community tree planning
As more studies reveal the numerous benefits of our green infrastructure so does the desire for communities to improve the management of their urban forest. We’re able to help with mapping services, tree risk management, and the development of policy.
