Arborist Consultation & Inspection in Salt Lake City, UT

You often can't tell from the outside — the same yellowing or thinning canopy can mean iron chlorosis, drought stress, root damage, pests, or genuine decline, and each has a very different outcome. A certified arborist inspection looks at the whole tree and site to find the real cause, so you're not removing a tree that could recover. ISA makes the same case for a professional arborist assessment: certified arborists are trained in tree biology, diagnosis, and maintenance practices — not just cutting.

Mikey walks the property and examines each tree of concern — canopy, trunk, root flare, soil, and signs of pests or disease — then explains what he sees and what your options are. You get an honest assessment of what needs work, what can wait, and what needs nothing at all. For a step-by-step look at the visit, read our guide to what an arborist consultation includes.

Yes — a certified arborist consultation is a paid service, because you're getting a trained, on-site diagnosis of what's wrong and what your options are. A consultation is $50, or $100 if the visit runs longer than an hour, so you always know the cost before we head out. If you hire us for the work, the consultation fee comes off the job. Free estimates are separate: if you already know the work you want done — a removal or trimming — the on-site estimate for that work is free.
