Consulting Services

The Arborists at Maier Forest and Tree have extensive knowledge about trees and shrubs and the various things that can affect their beauty, function and safety. While opinions are a dime a dozen, the right solution is worth its weight in gold. The following are some of the consulting services we provide.

General Tree Care Advice - Proper planting and care is essential for the long-term health and beauty of your landscape. Questions like, "What tree should I plant here?", "Should I water my mature tree?", "How can I protect my tree from deer?" and "How should I treat a wound on the trunk of my young tree?" can be answered so that you can keep taking care of your trees with certainty that you are doing the right thing.

Insect and Disease Diagnosis - Misdiagnosis of pest problems will lead to ineffective results and higher expenses in the long-run. The Consulting Arborists at Maier Forest and Tree are trained and educated to make proper diagnosis with treatment recommendations that get real, long-term results.

Tree Preservation Plans - Good planning during the building process can add decades of longevity to the trees on your property while poor planning will decrease tree life and often lead to unsafe situations. Involving us from the start of any project is vital for protecting the health and safety of your property’s trees. We can create a plan that will protect your trees, yet also be manageable for the builder during the construction process.

Tree Value Appraisals - The beauty and function of a tree can add significant value to your property. An appraisal of this value may be needed in the case of accidental tree damage, tree removal in new utility easements, and for establishing a value for the sale of land. Our Consulting Arborists will consider the species, location and condition of the tree or shrub to determine an accurate value or cost of cure.

Hazard Tree Evaluations - A hazard tree evaluation could be very important to protect your family and property. While large deadwood and broken branches can pose a significant threat to your home, even more important are the subtle signs that indicate interior decay that threaten the health and safety of your tree. These signs take good diagnostic tools and professionals with years of experience to catch. This information is absolutely essential to guarantee the safety of your home.
