Arborist Consulting
Expert arborist consulting services for tree assessment, planning, and long-term care strategies in Burbank.
What an Arborist Consultant Does
An arborist consultant is a tree expert who provides professional advice and assessments for property owners, developers, and municipalities. Unlike tree service companies that focus on hands-on work like cutting and trimming, arborist consultants specialize in evaluation, planning, and expert recommendations. If you have questions about your trees, need a formal assessment, or want to develop a long-term tree care plan, arborist consulting is what you need.
In Burbank, where trees are valuable assets that affect property value and neighborhood character, having expert guidance helps you make informed decisions. Our certified arborist consultants bring years of experience and in-depth knowledge of local tree species, regulations, and best practices.

When to Hire an Arborist Consultant
There are many situations where professional arborist consulting makes sense. If you are buying or selling property, a tree assessment can identify potential problems and help you negotiate fair prices. Before starting construction or remodeling, an arborist can help you protect valuable trees and comply with local regulations.
Property managers and HOAs often hire us to develop tree management plans and assess risk across multiple properties. If you have a dispute with neighbors about trees, our objective expert opinion can help resolve issues. And if you simply want to know the best way to care for mature or valuable trees on your property, we can create a customized care plan. For trees that need immediate action, we also provide tree removal services and ongoing health maintenance.
Our Consulting Process
When you hire us for arborist consulting, we start with an on-site visit to examine your trees in detail. We look at overall health, structural integrity, root condition, and any signs of disease or pest activity. We also consider the surrounding environment, including soil quality, drainage, and proximity to buildings or utilities.
After our assessment, we prepare a comprehensive report with our findings and recommendations. This report includes photographs, measurements, and clear explanations in language you can understand. We do not use unnecessary technical jargon. We explain what we found and what you should do about it. If you have questions, we are available to discuss our recommendations and help you decide on the best course of action.
