Professional Consulting Services
Unbiased Advice. Science-Based Solutions.
We provide the unbiased data you need to make the right decisions.
Tree Health & Risk Assessments
The Problem: You are worried a large tree might fall on your home, or a tree service just quoted you $5,000 to remove a tree that “looks dangerous.”
The ArborSolutions Approach: As ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified (TRAQ) professionals, we provide a formal, standardized evaluation of your tree’s structural integrity.
- The “Second Opinion” Audit: We verify if a tree actually needs work or removal or if it can be saved with cabling, bracing, or weight reduction.
- Liability Reduction: We document hazards and provide a written plan to mitigate risk, keeping you compliant with insurance and local liability standards.
- Standards Matter: All assessments adhere to ANSI A-300 and ISA Best Management Practices.
Arborist Reports – Permit, Health & Risk Documentation
The Problem: You need a credible arborist report for a tree that may be declining, hazardous, protected, or tied to a permit, dispute, insurance concern, or major property decision.
The ArborSolutions Approach: We provide independent, conflict-free arborist reporting for homeowners, HOAs, and property managers in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties—so you have clear, defensible documentation before costly decisions are made.
- Permit Documentation: We prepare professional arborist reports to support tree removal permits, protected tree review, and other cases where a city, county, HOA, or project file requires written documentation from a qualified arborist.
- Tree Health Assessments: We evaluate species, condition, decline symptoms, site pressures, and visible defects to document what is affecting the tree and what practical next steps are warranted.
- Tree Risk Assessment Reporting: We provide written risk-based evaluations for trees with structural concerns, target exposure, visible defects, or liability-sensitive placement near homes, driveways, sidewalks, parking areas, or common-use spaces.
- Second Opinion Reports: When a contractor has recommended major pruning or removal, we provide unbiased written documentation so you can make a confident decision based on the tree’s actual condition—not a sales-driven opinion.
Landscape Water Management
The Problem: Your water bill is skyrocketing, your lawn is dying, or your trees look stressed from drought.
The ArborSolutions Approach: We guide & suggest native sustainable, resilient landscape plantings that thrive in the Central Coast’s specific microclimates.
- Irrigation Audits: We stop you from watering the trunk (which causes Rot) and help you target the “Drip Line” for maximum efficiency.
- Certified California Native Plant Landscapers, we recommend species that look beautiful but require a fraction of the water.
- Soil & Nutrition Plans: Soil types vary, we can prescribe the proper amendments & nutrient mixes your landscape needs—no guessing.
Landscape Maintenance Contractor Compliance & Performance Audits
- Contractual Verification: We walk your property with your current SOW in hand, verifying that every scheduled task—from fertilization to irrigation checks—is actually being completed.
- Quality Assurance Reports: You receive a detailed “Compliance Scorecard” with photo documentation of deficiencies, allowing you to have data-driven conversations with your vendor.
- Liability & Health Oversight: We catch “Workmanship Red Flags” (like improper pruning, trunk-spraying, over-under irrigation coverage) before they lead to expensive tree failures or dead landscapes.
