Many landscape planners have extensive credentials and examples of successful projects. But if your landscape project is important to you, it can pay to have a consulting arborist involved.
Consulting arborists can provide an extra level of long-term vision to landscaping plans. What will the project look like a year from now? Five years? How about 20 years? A consulting arborist can give you a vision.
A consulting arborist can also:
- Help you select the best plant combinations for short- and long-term beauty
- Advise you on maintenance you’ll need as your landscape grows
- Help you avoid species that are at risk for disease or predators in your area
- Explain local regulations that may affect your landscape choices
- Interact with architects, engineers, government officials, insurance adjustors, and others who may be involved with the project
- Diagnose any diseases or problems with current flora that would need to be addressed
- Help you consider how new buildings or additions would impact your long-term landscaping
To become a consulting arborist, an individual must undergo extensive training, plus have extensive hands-on experience working in the field. This combination allows a consulting arborist to mesh creative planning with real-world understanding for the best possible outcomes.
There’s another very practical consideration: A consulting arborist can help avoid costly mistakes, both early in a project during permitting and long-term when it comes to evaluating maintenance, replacement of plants, and other issues.
And it doesn’t have to be a big project—a consulting arborist can be an asset on a backyard remodel as well as a major commercial building or an urban planning project.
