Consulting Arborist Services in Boulder
City-Licensed Arborist Consulting for Boulder Residential & Commercial Properties
Monster Tree Service of Greater Boulder provides professional Arborist Consulting Services for residential and commercial properties throughout Boulder and surrounding communities, including Arvada, Broomfield, Erie, Longmont, and Westminster. Our Certified Arborist License with the City of Boulder authorizes us to perform consulting and tree work in public rights-of-way and on trees affected by major insect and disease problems, which unlicensed contractors can’t legally touch in Boulder.
A consulting arborist appointment is distinct from a standard tree service visit. Rather than arriving to perform immediate physical work, our arborist consultants conduct a thorough on-site assessment focused on diagnosis, documentation, and a recommended course of action. You receive a clear plan matched to your priorities and budget.

What Happens During a Consulting Arborist Appointment
Our arborist consultants begin with a walkthrough of your property, inventorying plant species and evaluating the health, safety, and condition of your trees, shrubs, and other vegetation. We diagnose problems, identify insect infestations, check for diseases, analyze soil health, and evaluate potential tree dangers. Boulder-area trees face documented threats, including emerald ash borer, mountain pine beetle, thousand cankers disease of black walnut, and Dutch elm disease, and our consultants are equipped to diagnose these and other regional pest and disease conditions.
The appointment produces a formal arborist report: a written document recording findings and recommendations that can support insurance claims, construction planning, or legal proceedings. At the close of the walkthrough, we provide a proposal and recommend follow-up services to support the health of your trees and shrubs.
Arborist Consulting Services We Offer
Our consulting covers a range of assessment and planning services. Below are the core service types available to Boulder-area clients.
Tree Inventories
We gather data on tree size, species, health, location, and potential hazards to support urban, construction, and forestry management plans. Tree inventories are offered case-by-case to homeowners and small HOAs and commercial properties, and aren’t available for larger properties or at a municipal level.
Tree Protection
Construction equipment and soil compaction can damage root systems before a single branch is touched. Our arborist consultants examine your site and provide guidance on protecting trees and plant life throughout the construction process.
Tree Risk Assessment
Using ISA-recognized protocols, we rate the likelihood and consequences of tree or branch failure and determine whether a tree can be preserved or should be removed. This gives property owners information to help reduce liability and make proactive decisions.
Tree Failure Assessment
After a tree dies or fails, our consultants examine each section using standardized methods to identify the most likely cause, assess whether the problem may affect other trees on the property, and create a prevention plan if warranted.
Tree Root Appraisal
We examine soil compaction, soil depth, watering balance, fertilizer application, and the effects of trenching, construction, and digging on root systems. Heavy clay subsoils common in the Boulder area can restrict oxygen and water uptake, and a root appraisal identifies these conditions.
Additional Services
We also offer nursery tree appraisals, expert witness testimonies, insect and disease management, municipal ordinance development, and tree planting programs.
