Consulting

While a typical initial site visit involves a quote for physical work to be completed at another time, consultations are often a product themselves. Municipalities, home owners' associations, and other discerning commercial or residential property managers often look for total impartiality by hiring us as a third party advocate for their trees. Color coded hazard tree assessments and inventories accompanied by a map and numbered descriptions aid commercial and large property owners in making informed and prioritized decisions. Well cared for trees can contribute up to 15% of a property's value. When trees are damaged (e.g. car accidents, excavation equipment) Limbwalker's certified arborists can help with partial and whole tree appraisals. Occasionally our customers are involved in disputes with neighbors or insurance agents and require a professional letter to establish a clear stand. For example, if you do not notify your neighbor in writing of a hazardous tree that threatens your property, and the tree fails, it is considered an "act of god" and will go on your insurance. We recommend a simple letter that puts you in the clear and the burden on their insurance company. During insurance audits, agents without formal training in arboriculture may perceive a threat from your trees (often due to proximity alone) when the trees' condition or architecture is sound. Once again, a letter from an expert is often all that is needed. Finally, Limbwalker can help with your small woodlot management strategy by optimizing biodiversity, spacing, tree quality, number of wildlife users, agroforestry objectives, mulched pathways, and any other plan you can conceive.
