The International Society of Arboriculture certifies arborists who pass a comprehensive exam on tree biology, diagnosis, pruning, tree risk and safe work practices, and who keep their certification current through continuing education. Goliath Land Management is led by an ISA Certified Arborist.

A consultation gives you that expertise before money gets spent or a tree gets cut. It's the smart first step when you're unsure whether a tree is dangerous, why it's declining, or how to protect it during construction.

What's included

Tree health assessmentsDiagnosis of decline, dieback, disease and pest damage.
Hazard evaluationsIs it safe to keep near the house, driveway or barn? A clear answer.
Pre-construction planningWhich trees can be saved on a building lot, and how to protect them.
Tree protection zonesFencing, equipment paths and grade limits that keep roots alive.
Property & woodlot walk-throughsNew owners learn what they have and what needs attention.
Removal vs. pruning adviceHonest recommendations, even when the answer is 'leave it alone.'

Call for a consultation when

  • A big tree near the house has changed: new lean, cracks, fungus or dead limbs
  • Leaves are thinning, browning early or dropping out of season
  • You're about to build, add on or install a driveway near trees
  • You just bought a wooded property and want to know what's there
  • A neighbor's tree worries you and you want a professional opinion
  • You want a second opinion before paying for a removal

The arborist advantage

Why certified judgment matters here

This is the service the whole company is built around. The same arborist judgment that guides a consultation also guides every clearing, grading and removal job we do, so the advice you get is backed by the crew that can carry it out.

ISA Arborist Consultations FAQ

How do I verify an arborist's ISA certification?

The International Society of Arboriculture keeps a public directory of credential holders. We encourage every customer to check.

Is a consultation the same as a free estimate?

A free estimate prices specific work. A consultation is a professional opinion on tree health, risk or protection, and is useful when you don't yet know what work you need.

Can you help protect trees during construction?

Yes. Pre-construction planning is one of the most valuable things an arborist can do. Root damage from equipment and grade changes is a leading cause of tree death on new home sites.
