What we do...

Why do I need a Consulting Arborist?

Consulting Arborists are engaged to provide independent and informed advice about trees in the landscape, but offer more than just basic “remove” or “retain” advice.

​

Modern tree management requires a broad knowledge of tree health, root architecture, structural properties, local species characteristics, pruning strategies and risk management.

​

By taking into account these factors, a Consultant will arrive at a solution that balances the local ecosystem with the needs of all stakeholders, whether you are a homeowner, developer or local council.
