What Happens During a Consulting Arborist Appointment
A consulting arborist provides professional evaluation of tree health, safety, and structural condition, distinct from hands-on tree work like trimming or removal. It’s a trained, evidence-based assessment of what your trees and landscape actually need.
Our arborist consultants conduct a complete walk-through of your property, inventorying plant species and gathering data on their health, size, and location. During that walk-through, we diagnose problems, evaluate potential tree dangers, identify insect infestations, check for disease, analyze soil health, offer tree preservation advice, and assist with documentation for insurance claims. At the end of the appointment, we provide a proposal and recommend any further services, with the goal of developing a management plan that fits your priorities and budget.
ISA Certification & Why It Matters
ISA certification, issued by the International Society of Arboriculture, is a widely recognized arborist credential. Earning it requires at least three years of full-time practical experience in arboriculture (or a qualifying combination of arboricultural education and hands-on experience), a 200-question exam, and recertification every three years. That process reflects standardized knowledge across tree biology, structural assessment, disease diagnostics, and risk evaluation.
In Memphis, where clay-rich soils, mature water oaks and sweetgums, and recurring storm exposure create real ongoing challenges, that level of training matters. An arborist assessment grounded in that knowledge base can help support informed decisions about your property.
We cannot guarantee that every Monster Tree Service location will have an ISA-certified consultant on staff. Please contact your local team for more information.
What we can confirm: our teams are fully licensed and insured, and we adhere to ANSI Z133 safety standards and industry best practices across all tree care work.
Arborist Consulting Services We Offer
Our Arborist Consulting Services cover a range of assessment and advisory needs. Below are the named services available through Monster Tree Service of the Midsouth.
Tree Inventories
We gather data on tree size, species, health, location, and potential hazards. This documentation supports urban, construction, and forestry management plans and can also be used when filing storm damage claims. Tree inventories are offered case-by-case to homeowners and small HOAs and commercial properties and aren’t available to larger properties or on a municipal level.
Tree Protection
When construction or site work threatens the health of trees and plant life, our consulting arborists examine the site and offer guidance on protecting root systems and vegetation from machinery and soil compaction.
Tree Risk Assessment
We evaluate whether a tree can be saved or should be removed based on its structural integrity and risk of failure. This helps property owners make proactive decisions and address potential liability before a problem escalates.
Tree Failure Assessment
After a tree dies, we examine the cause of failure using standardized methods, determine whether the same problem may affect other trees on the property, and develop a prevention plan when warranted. Post-storm failure assessments are a recurring need across the Midsouth, where severe weather regularly damages mature trees.
Tree Root Appraisal
Root system health depends on more than what’s visible above ground. We evaluate soil compaction, soil depth, watering patterns, fertilizer balance, and the effects of trenching or construction on root systems. Heavy clay subsoils common in this region can restrict oxygen and water uptake, making this assessment particularly relevant for properties throughout the greater Memphis area.
Additional Services
Our consulting arborists also provide nursery tree appraisals, expert witness testimonies, insect and disease management, municipal ordinance development, and tree planting programs.
Who We Serve
Arborist consulting isn’t limited to homeowners with a single problem tree. Several types of clients benefit from professional assessments on a regular basis.
- Community managers: Tree inventories and assessments support short- and long-term maintenance plans, helping avoid unnecessary costs through proactive management.
- Municipalities: We assess dangerous trees near structures or pedestrians and provide preservation evaluations for historic trees in relation to parks, walking trails, or municipal projects.
- Homeowner associations: We recommend durable, appropriate trees for shared spaces and conduct proactive landscape assessments to help reduce tree loss and unplanned costs.
- Property management companies: We help build landscaping budgets, assess collapse risk, and provide treatment recommendations for pest infestations and diseases.
- Real estate agents: We provide third-party tree appraisals for properties being prepared for sale.
- Landscape professionals: We assist with root mapping, work supervision near trees, and land planning decisions involving tree removal or building around existing vegetation.
- Tree service providers: Our consulting arborists offer structural, health, and safety assessments that go beyond standard arborist training.
The Advantage of a Full-Service Arborist Team
Consulting-only providers can tell you what a tree needs. Monster Tree Service of the Midsouth can do both. Our locally owned team handles the full range of tree care, including removal, trimming, stump removal, reshaping old growth, and tree planting, so the consulting assessment and any recommended follow-through work can come from the same crew. That continuity can mean fewer hand-offs, cleaner communication, and a management plan that can be executed.
Our crews are trained and experienced, working with state-of-the-art equipment and methods. We’re fully licensed and insured, follow ANSI Z133 safety standards and environmentally responsible industry practices on every job, and our teams are professional and punctual because we respect our clients’ time.
