Arborist Consulting

Professional Arborist Guidance

Sometimes you need expert advice before you know what tree services you actually need. Should that tree be removed or can it be saved? Which trees should you plant for your landscape goals? How do you solve drainage problems without removing trees? At CrestHands Wildomar Tree Services, our arborist consulting services provide the professional guidance you need to make informed decisions about your trees. We assess your specific situation, explain your options, and help you develop a plan that meets your goals and budget.

When You Need Arborist Consulting

Arborist consulting is valuable for many situations:

- Buying a property and wanting to assess existing trees

- Planning construction or landscaping around established trees

- Determining if a problematic tree should be removed or treated

- Selecting appropriate trees for new planting

- Resolving neighbor disputes about trees and property lines

- Developing long-term tree care plans for your property

- Getting second opinions on recommendations from other companies

- Understanding tree risks and safety concerns

Our consulting services help you understand your options so you can make the best decisions for your property and your budget.

Tree Risk Assessment

One of the most important consulting services we provide is tree risk assessment. We evaluate trees for structural problems, disease, decay, and other factors that might make them hazardous. We look at the tree's condition, its location relative to buildings and activity areas, and environmental factors that increase risk. Then we explain the level of risk and recommend appropriate actions. Sometimes this means removal, but often selective pruning or other treatments can reduce risk while preserving the tree. Understanding risk helps you make informed decisions about safety and liability.

Construction and Development Planning

If you're planning construction or major landscaping projects, consulting with an arborist before you start can save you money and preserve valuable trees. We help you understand which trees can stay and which should be removed, how to protect trees during construction, and how to minimize damage to root systems. We can mark protection zones and recommend construction practices that won't harm nearby trees. This advance planning prevents accidental damage that can kill trees years after construction is complete.

Honest, Unbiased Advice

Our consulting services provide objective recommendations based on arboricultural science and best practices, not on what generates the most revenue for us. If your tree doesn't need to be removed, we'll tell you. If a less expensive treatment option will solve your problem, we'll explain that. We want you to make decisions based on accurate information, not pressure or unnecessary fear. Our reputation is built on honesty and expertise, and we maintain that standard in every consultation we provide.
