Smart landscape management begins with expert insight. Our arborist consulting services provide the scientific data and professional reports you need to make informed decisions for your property, navigate city requirements, and assess risks.
Arborist Consulting Services
At A Plus Tree, we deliver professional arborist consulting for developers, HOAs, municipalities, and homeowners who require high-level technical expertise and formal documentation. We specialize in comprehensive assessments that bridge the gap between complex tree biology and practical property management.
When You Need It
Permit approval is required for city planning or construction projects.
Potential hazards are identified, requiring a TRAQ-based risk assessment (TRAQ-qualified assessors available).
High-value specimen trees show signs of decline and need a detailed health and structural diagnosis.
Legal or insurance matters arise involving tree health, damage, or property boundaries.
What Happens Next
A consulting arborist will perform a site inspection, deliver a technical report, and provide actionable recommendations based on your specific goals.
What’s Included in Our Consulting Services
Our tree consulting services cover everything from site visits to advanced diagnostic testing. We provide official arborist reports, TRAQ risk evaluations, and tree protection plans for construction zones. Whether you need a simple health check or technical documentation for complex municipal projects, our experienced consulting team has the credentials to support you.
Our Professional Process
We follow professional assessment protocols and recognized arboriculture standards, using TRAQ methodology for risk evaluations when applicable. Our process typically begins with a visual inspection, followed by specialized testing if needed—such as soil analysis or aerial canopy inspections—to provide a complete picture of your landscape’s health.
Arborist Consulting Cost Factors
Pricing for arborist consulting services is based on the level of assessment required, the number of trees involved, and the complexity of the final report. Technical consulting is an investment that can help reduce long-term liability and prevent costly construction delays.
The Best Time to Schedule
The best time for arborist consulting is during the early planning stages of any construction or landscape renovation. If a tree shows rapid decline or structural instability, a prompt risk assessment helps confirm the safest course of action.
Why Choose A Plus Tree
We provide high-level technical expertise with an experienced consulting team holding advanced consulting credentials. We pair this knowledge with ArborPlus, our tech platform that allows you to manage your entire inventory and consultation history in one place.
Tiered Assessment Options
Not every project requires the same depth of analysis. We offer tiered assessment options based on your goals, site risk, and documentation needs:
- Level 1: Limited Visual Assessment: A basic “walk-by” to identify obvious high-risk hazards.
- Level 2: Basic Assessment: A thorough, 360-degree ground-level inspection of the crown, trunk, and root flare.
- Level 3: Advanced Assessment: Specialized testing, which may include climbing inspections, advanced diagnostics, or selective root-zone evaluation when appropriate.

Feedback from our clients
The A plus tree team is awesome!
We had a big tree fall on Super Bowl Sunday late in the evening during the game. Rachelle responded promptly to the urgent call and had a team out first thing the next morning to deal with the situation.
Appreciate the whole team!
We started using A-Plus recently and are very happy with their results. We have an HOA with many trees we care for so it’s imperative we have a good team. Andre and the crew were fabulous, responsive and friendly to work with. We just had a trash truck take out a tree today, A-Plus responded and got here within 4 hours to fell the tree as it was unsafe. Great job. We look forward to our continued relationship.
I had a tree fall in my driveway and block me from getting out. I had an important appointment to get to. A Plus Tree Service was there in an astoundingly short amount of time. They were courteous, calm, and very professional. The best part: I was out of my driveway in 13 minutes. I made it to my appointment. I highly recommend them; they have outstanding service, and work quickly.
We had a 50 ft dead pine tree that was at risk of falling onto our house.. We called these guys in and they had the entire tree with the stump removed in 2 hours. What other company can you find where almost every one of their employees are certified arborists? They’re professional, knowledgeable, straight forward, and fast.
Totally agree with the other reviews. Had a large tree at my rental that had split in half and fallen, leaning into the neighbors yard! From the moment I called, the team at A+ Tree was ultra-responsive, and made me feel like they appreciated the urgency I had at getting this taken care of. Was able to set a removal appointment very quickly, and the workers that showed up were just as quality as the rest of my experience. They were friendly, careful, and did an amazing job (in a reasonable amount of time!). I am SO glad I was referred to you guys–and will definitely be passing your name along to anyone in need! Thank you A+ Tree!!! Would use again..A+
