Our services

Arboricultural services for the questions that matter.

Expert witness services

Independent arboricultural opinions, reports, deposition and trial testimony for tree-related disputes. We examine the evidence relevant to the assignment and explain the basis for our opinions, helping counsel understand the technical issues involved.

Forensic arboriculture

Tree failure investigation and analysis for litigation and insurance matters. We review physical evidence, photographs, records, site history, and arboricultural practice to address how a tree or limb failed and the questions raised by the loss.

Tree assessments

Tree condition, structural concerns, risk, and management options for an individual tree or a larger property. Inspections and reports are tailored to the decisions facing owners, managers, attorneys, or insurers, with further investigation when the assignment warrants it.

Tree industry consulting

Technical review, safety policies, operations, and professional communication for tree care companies. Our consulting work helps businesses examine arboricultural practices, clarify procedures, and communicate technical findings to clients and other professionals.

Tree loss & damage

Tree appraisal for claims and disputes.

When a tree has been damaged or lost, an appraisal can address its value and the extent of the loss. We provide independent tree loss and damage appraisal for insurance claims, property matters, and litigation.

The purpose of the appraisal guides the assignment. We identify the relevant tree and site information, explain the valuation approach and its assumptions, and document the basis for the conclusion in the agreed work product.

The approach

Evidence first. Clear communication.

An inspection, a report, and an expert opinion serve different purposes. We tailor the investigation and work product to the questions the engagement needs to answer.

Start with a written inquiry

Define the assignment.

Send the type of matter, location, relevant parties, and any deadline. We will confirm availability, conflicts, scope, and engagement requirements.

Professional review and analysis begin after engagement.
