Consulting Services

I help residential and commercial property owners, contractors and legal professionals in the Portland Metro and NW Oregon areas with thorough analysis of tree related matters. My promise is to bring the most current research to my clients so they may have the best solution for their concern.

Tree Hazard & Risk Assessment

Evaluating a tree for possible risk is a thorough process that starts with a 360 degree assessment of the tree’s architecture, environment and prior care. Trees can be damaged and possibly become a hazard as a result of construction, weather events and wildfires.

  • Plant Health Care

    Insect and diseases don’t usually attack healthy trees. Many trees, like us, are susceptible to stress both naturally and through adverse growing conditions and poor care.

    Let’s find a solution to keep your trees healthy.

  • Tree Failure Analysis

    Why did the tree fall? How did the stem break? Were there defects? Did prior damage go unnoticed? I can provide detailed, expert tree failure information for insurance claims, appraisals and mitigation planning.

Wildfire Prevention

Living in the Wildland Urban Interface creates a need for a unique wildfire tree preservation plan. I can work with you to protect your property with specific pruning and tree management.

Arborist Reporting

Many municipalities or insurance companies may ask for an Arborist Report if a tree needs removal, protection during construction, or analysis in the event a tree or property was damaged. As an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist and Tree Risk Assessor, I can help.

  • Pre & Post Construction Planning

    Building your dream home?

    I will coordinate with your architect and general contractor to inventory the trees on your site and create a detailed tree protection and future tree preservation plan.

  • Tree Inventory Management

    It’s the trees that define our city and communities.

    Do you manage commercial property? Or a small woodland just outside the hustle and bustle?

    Having a comprehensive inventory of your trees with a preservation plan will help with your budget allocations and keep the tree in PNW.
