Arborist consulting is a professional assessment of your trees: their health, structure, risk level, and what they need, provided in plain language and in writing when you need it. We assess trees across Kelowna and the Okanagan for homeowners, buyers, and property projects.
Sometimes you don't need work done yet, you need to know what's going on. Is that big tree safe? Is it worth saving? Will it survive the build? A proper assessment answers those questions before you spend money or take a risk.
We assess trees honestly, with no incentive to oversell work. We look at health, structure, and risk, and we give you a clear picture of your options. When you need it in writing, for a development, a property sale, or a permit, we can document the assessment for you.
What's included
- Health evaluation. We assess the overall condition of the tree and what's helping or hurting it.
- Risk assessment. We evaluate the likelihood of failure and what's at risk if it does fail.
- Structural review. We check for weak forks, cracks, decay, and root issues that affect stability.
- Options and priorities. We tell you what needs doing now, what can wait, and what's fine as is.
- Written documentation. When you need a written assessment for a sale, permit, or build, we provide it.
- Straight recommendations. Honest advice with no pressure to book work you don't need.
