When you need unbiased clarity from experts in arboriculture our Consultants at Texas Tree Surgeons are here to help.  Our Registered Consulting Arborist’s (RCA) provide science-based concrete documentation that can be used for appraisal, litigation or in any capacity to ensure the safety, health and preservation of trees.

What is a Consulting Arborist?

Consulting arborists, especially those registered with the American Society of Consulting Arborists (“ASCA”), combine extensive knowledge of tree health and safety, established data-collection and analysis methods, and rigorous evaluation standards to formulate professional forensic opinions as to tree diagnosis, prognosis, risk assessment, ecological impact, financial value, and related matters.

In the same way that ISA Certified Arborists® can be depended upon to have knowledge and training in tree care best practices, ASCA Registered Consulting Arborists® utilize both time-tested and innovative tools in arboricultural forensic science to provide evidence-based, reliable data and conclusions to enable decision makers, including in a legal context, to have the information they need to reach the right outcomes.

Consulting arborists are not only an important part of high-dollar deals or lawsuits, they are accessible experts that can help tree owners who are looking for comprehensive information and guidance on tree-related matters from disease and pest management to historic specimen tree preservation. Prospective homebuyers buying a house can get an accurate picture of the health and safety of trees on a property to avoid surprises down the road.

Knowledge of arboriculture can only take an arborist so far. In order to provide the best service and experience for their clients, our consulting arborists bring not only their education, training, and experience, but a love of trees and their communities, both large and small.

While North Texas is our home, our consulting arborists train with international experts to receive superior information in subjects such as non-destructive tree age and internal decay assessment, tree economic value appraisal, and ecological impact calculation. Gaining perspective of worldwide trends in arboriculture gives our consulting arborists invaluable contextual information concerning weather patterns and animal activity.

Continuing education in emerging topics in arboriculture ensures that opinions are accurate and timely, a must for forensic analysis. Our love for trees is at the heart of everything we do. We are dedicated to helping our urban and global forest thrive and this informs our service to our clients.

At Texas Tree Surgeons,  we know that trees make up a valuable part of our lives and livelihoods.
