What is an independent consulting arborist?

Arboriculture is a specialized field within horticulture. An independent consulting arborist is one who only consults and does not provide maintenance services or treatments, although most consulting arborists will assist the property owner in securing these services from third parties. For example, TLT is able to refer clients to contractors qualified in most horticultural fields, in most areas of the country.

Obviously, one of the benefits of retaining an independent consulting arborist such as Total Landscape Technologies is that you are sure that the information you are given is not linked to some product or service that is being sold. An independent consulting arborist is objective in his or her perspective on the needs of the tree. Arboriculture is a rapidly evolving and technical field, with many tools and methodologies available for the management of tree-health issues. Thus, recommendations regarding the proper application of these tools and techniques is important to your trees' health.

Often when a tree company offers a "free consultation" it results in a sales pitch for a service your trees may or may not need. In contrast, an independent consulting arborist will assess your trees' condition and provide specifications best suited to your management goals.
