1800TreeExpert Arborist Consultations

 

At 1800TreeExpert, our arborists are certified and ISA qualified. During our tree consultations, we will walk through your property, noting down that is within falling distance of your house and others that concern you. As we inspect your trees we will;

 

Look for problems

Identify hazardous trees

Find diseases and bugs

Offer advice

And More!

 

When we reach the end of the walkthrough, we can provide a proposal and recommend services that would be beneficial to your trees. Our mission is to create a plan that suits your schedule and priorities.

 

What is an Arborist?

Consulting Arborists are experts and have extensive knowledge about a tree’s health. They train hard to reach their position and are often ISA qualified. The consulting Arborists at 1800TreeExpert can deliver a comprehensive and factual overview of the condition of your trees.

 

What does it Mean to be ISA Certified?

 

Most of our Arborists are certified by the ISA (International Society of Arboriculture). In order to become an ISA certified arborist, you would need to have at least 3 years of professional tree care experience. Or you would need to have a degree in arboriculture. Then you would have to pass a 200-question exam. You would have to refresh your certification every three years. 

 

The ISA is the top certification for arborists all around the world. The arborists at 1800TreeExpert offer many services including;

 

Tree care

Disease and insect management

Tree appraisals 

Tree risk assessment

Tree inventories

And more!

 

*All of our arborists may not be ISA certified at the time of your job. Contact us to learn more.

 

Tree Inventories

Thorough tree inventories are important when it comes to most developmental plans such as construction. They gather important information on the amount, size, type, and location of trees. During inventories, we look at;

 

The number of trees

The tree’s health

Any hazards or potential hazards

Any infestations or diseases

Recommendations for maintenance

 

The information is greatly beneficial when it comes to prospective landscaping plans. Any construction, urban forestry, and/or urban planning projects will also be greatly benefited by an inventory. Also, if damage occurs to your trees, the inventory will be evidence of the tree’s health before the accident. 

 

Protecting Trees

Trees need to be protected and we can figure out how much each tree needs with tree protection inspections. Construction often poses a threat to trees and the surrounding foliage. The soil can become compacted by the heavy equipment. This restricts the tree’s access to water and can cause the tree to die early. Our arborists can assess your sight in order to keep the plants safe during the construction process.

 

Tree Risk Assessment

One of the biggest reasons you would want an arborist consultation is to figure out how much danger on or more of your trees pose. With an arborist, you can compare the risk and benefits involved with keeping the tree. Every tree is a risk, even if it seems perfectly safe. 

Our goal is to keep people safe by assessing the danger of a tree and allowing you to make an educated decision on your trees. If a tree is decided to be dangerous, we can also offer you our removal services or other recommendations in order to minimize the risks involved. 

 

Tree Failure Assessment

Whenever a tree dies or falls, our arborists can assess the cause of the failure. We thoroughly investigate each section using industry standardized methods. Our inspection will look for;

 

Thinning of the crown and/or health decline in the canopy

Dehydration, infestation, or disease on the branches. 

Fungi 

Weak branch connections

Ground heaving underneath the tree’s root plate

Weak, overextending, broken, and/or unstable branch patterns

Injured tree trunks

Root decay or exposure

 

Tree Roots
The tree roots are the foundation, anchor, and food source for any tree. They store crucial nutrients during the winter in order to grow leaves in the spring. In the spring, the roots move minerals and water from the soil to the foliage above. 

 

As a result, the root’s health is very important. You should stay updated on the health of your tree roots with a regular arborist consultation. The arborist will be able to give you tips on how to prevent root disease and avoid root failure. 

 

Our tree root appraisal will inspect

 

Ground compaction

When the ground is compacted around the roots of the tree, or even if it has a high clay content, it can starve the roots of water and oxygen. This can greatly harm or kill your trees. 

 

Ground depth

Roots need soil to collect nutrients, anchor themselves, and to breathe. When the root depth changes due to adding or removing dirt, they can be threatened. Our arborists can help you ensure that your tree’s roots are thriving by measuring whether the soil depth and density are right for the nearby plants. 

 

Watering

Overwatering can suffocate the tree roots by restricting their access to oxygen. Underwatering will dehydrate roots, allowing them to rot. 

 

Fertilizer

Just like water, too much or too little fertilizer can cause problems for a tree. It is also good to remember that different tree species may need more or less fertilizer in general. 1800TreeExpert arborists can help you find the right balance your tree needs. 

 

Digging 

Pouring cement, digging trenches, and other ground work can threaten tree roots significantly. Digging away at the tree’s roots will deprive it of necessary assets and heavy machinery can compact the ground around the roots, suffocating and starving them. 

1800TreeExpert’s Consulting Arborists

 

Our arborists are open to provide service to the following;

 

Community Managers

If you work with a large plot of land, such as a public park or golf course, it’s likely that you have many trees on the property. Our consultant can create an inventory and assess the health of the trees. This can help you create maintenance plans with short and long term plans for the plants. This may allow you to know exactly what the plants need while reducing unnecessary costs. 

 

Homeowner Associations

A main responsibility of a Homeowner Association is to settle problems and create landscaping plans for the community. 1800TreeExpert consulting arborists can help create more effective plans by recommending healthier, safer, and more durable trees to plant in the shared spaces. Also, we can look over shared properties to help you prevent tree loss and/or damage.

 

Property Managers

Property management is not an easy job. It’s your responsibility to make sure your property is inviting, safe, and affordable. As such, landscaping is a big area of concern. Our arborists can help you draw up landscape budgets that will help protect your property from losing trees. We can provide an easy-to-understand tree assessment of hazards, risks, and treatments for infestations and diseases.

 

Real Estate Agents

You may require a consulting arborist’s guidance when it comes to dealing with property inspections and/or assessments. Homebuyers will most likely want to know the danger posed by any trees on the property as well as infestations, diseases, and root damage among the trees. By talking with an expert, you will receive an informed assessment, a thorough appraisal, and advice from a professional. 

 

Landscape Professionals

Landscape professionals’ jobs are to maximize the value of the landscaping while minimizing the disruption to the plants. If you’re worried about the possible hazards and dangers of planting a certain tree size or species, we can examine the area and help you make an educated decision. 

Our consulting arborists can assist with root mapping, land planning, and supervise work near trees. Lastly, when choosing whether to clear the land of plants or to build around existing trees, we can make detailed assessments so you can make a knowledgeable decision. 

 

Other Tree Services

Not every tree service has the extensive knowledge required to be an ISA certified arborist. Looking back at years of education and experience. At 1800TreeExpert, our arborists will be happy to offer you advice on the well-being and hazards of your trees. This will let you take the optimum course of action. 

 

Municipalities

Trees growing in public areas need to be regularly assessed and maintained. If a dangerous or hazardous tree is too close to structures and/or pedestrians, we recommend that you take action. If a historic tree is becoming a problem for a walking trail, park, or other municipal project, we can help you know it’s preservation value and/or help you figure out how to work around the tree.

 

And More!

We want to offer expert estimates, professional assessments, and clear advice to any matter that involves trees. We like to help with pest control, nutrients, site remediation, pruning, and/or removal. Our services are for property owners in many different industries.

What is an Consulting Arborist?

Consulting Arborists are authoritative experts on tree health. Our consultants are highly qualified and trained. We deliver a factual, comprehensive overview of the health, safety, and condition of your trees, shrubs, and other vegetation. This is achieved by conducting tree inspections, assessing risks, drafting arborist reports, prescribing pest, soil, and disease treatments.

Homeowners

Farmers

Municipalities

Commercial site managers

Landscape architects, engineers, and developers

We’re ISA Certified Tree Experts Providing the Following Services

Most of our expert consultants are certified by the International Society of Arboriculture* (ISA). To become an ISA certified arborist, one must have over 3 years of professional tree care experience or a degree in arboriculture, pass a 200-question exam, and recertify every three years.

 

The ISA is the preeminent certification for arborists worldwide. Our consulting arborists provide numerous services, including:

 

Tree protection

Nursery and tree appraisals

Expert witness

Insect and disease management

Municipal ordinance development

Tree risk surveys

Tree planting programs

Tree inventories

*Please note: we cannot guarantee that all Monster Tree Service locations will have an ISA Certified consultant on staff. Please contact your local team to learn more.

 

Tree Inventories

A thorough tree inventory is important when developing comprehensive urban, construction, and/or forestry management plans. Tree inventories gather vital data on the size, species, and location of trees.

 

During an inventory, we document:

 

The total number of trees

Each tree’s health

Potential hazards

Disease or infestations

Maintenance recommendations

This information is beneficial when analyzing the pros and cons of prospective landscaping, construction, urban planning, and urban forestry projects. In the event that damage occurs, this inventory will prove beneficial when filing claims.

 

Tree Protection

Tree protection inspections are a critical safeguard to help ensure construction projects do not negatively affect nearby trees. Unregulated construction can pose many threats to a landscape and surrounding vegetation. Soil compaction is just one of many examples that show how disruptive construction can be to trees’ overall health. As soil and construction materials are compacted, the underground oxygen supply in a root system can decrease. This can lessen a tree’s ability to absorb water and even cause premature death. Our arborist consultants can examine your site to offer guidance on how to keep trees and plant life safe during construction processes.

 

Tree Risk Assessment

One of the primary reasons for an arborist consultation is to assess potential tree hazards and suggest preventive measures. By comparing the risks and benefits involved, it will be easier to determine whether to remove the tree or not. Every tree has some element of risk. Our goal is to assess the structural soundness and potential for failure of a tree. Knowing the severity of unsafe tree conditions will allow you to make informed and proactive decisions. When a tree is deemed defective and hazardous, we will also offer professional recommendations to help mitigate the risks involved.

 

Tree Failure Assessment

When a tree collapses or dies, our consultants can help assess the causes of tree failure. We will thoroughly examine each section using standardized methods.

 

This detailed inspection will look for:

 

Thinning canopy and/or declining crown health

Diseased, dehydrated, or infested branches

Fungus growth

Weak crotch systems

Soil heaving near the root plate

Unstable, overextended, broken, or weak branching patterns

Cracked and decaying tree trunks

Decaying or exposed roots

Tree Roots

Tree root systems are the literal anchor and foundation for any tree as well as a food source for your tree. During winter, tree roots store essential nutrient reserves to produce spring foliage. During spring, they transport water and minerals from the soil to the tree. Accordingly, their health is a top priority. With a regular arborist consultation, you stay updated on the condition of your tree roots and receive preventive tips on how to avoid root disease and failure.

 

Our tree root appraisal will examine:

 

Soil compaction – Heavy clay subsoils and soil compaction can restrict oxygen and water uptake, harming and even killing many trees.

Soil depth – Tree roots rely on soil to extract nutrients, anchor, and breath. When adding and removing soil, a tree’s root system can be threatened. Let us ensure your root systems thrive by assessing whether the soil depth and volume are right for the surrounding vegetation.

Overwatering/underwatering – Overwatering can saturate the soil so much it restricts the flow of oxygen, thereby suffocating tree roots. Underwatering will dehydrate tree roots – causing them to rot.

Surrounding fertilizer – Excess fertilizer can kill tree roots, while insufficient fertilizer will deprive tree roots of essential minerals needed to stay healthy. We will help you find the right balance.

Trenching, construction work, and digging – Digging trenches, laying pavement, boring holes, and other work involving soil excavation and heavy-duty machinery can significantly threaten root systems.

We Provide Consulting Arborist Services

Landscape Professionals

The job of a landscape professional is to maximize value and minimize disruption.

Finally, when debating whether to strip the land of its vegetation or build around existing trees, we can offer sound, detailed assessments to help you make a knowledgeable decision.

 

Tree Service Providers

And More
