Arborist Consulting

When You Need an Arborist

Sometimes you don't need hands-on tree work, you just need expert advice. Maybe you're planning a construction project and want to preserve mature trees. Or you're buying a property and need someone to assess the trees before you close. Perhaps you're dealing with a dispute about a boundary tree with your neighbor.

That's where arborist consulting comes in. We've been advising property owners in Roseville, MN since 2024 on everything from tree preservation during construction to long-term management plans for large estates. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make smart decisions about your trees, whether or not you hire us for the actual work.

Our consulting work covers a wide range of tree-related questions and problems. Here's what we commonly help with:

• Pre-purchase tree assessments for home buyers
• Construction site tree preservation plans
• Long-term tree management strategies for properties with many trees
• Risk assessments for trees near structures or power lines
• Species selection and planting location recommendations
• Expert witness services for legal disputes or insurance claims
• Tree inventory and documentation for commercial properties

If you already know you need work done, check out our tree health and maintenance services or our tree removal options.

How Our Consulting Works

Most consulting projects start with a site visit. We walk your property together so you can show us the specific trees or areas you're concerned about. We take notes, measurements, and photos as needed.

After the visit, we prepare a written report with our findings and recommendations. This might include details about tree health, structural issues, species identification, estimated values, or specific action steps you should take. The report is yours to keep and use however you need, whether that's negotiating a home purchase price, planning a renovation, or settling a disagreement.

For construction projects, we often create tree protection zones and recommend specific measures to prevent root damage, soil compaction, and trunk injuries during building. Following these plans can save valuable trees that might otherwise die months or years after construction ends.

Some clients need ongoing consulting relationships. Property managers, homeowner associations, and commercial property owners often work with us for regular tree inventories and maintenance planning across multiple sites.
