12 Projects
Sedalia, Missouri
Before and after picture of a silver maple which I pruned in Sedalia, Missouri 2022. ISA-standard pruning executed to restore crown structure — no topping, no stub cuts.
Missouri (Exclusive Service)
Sonic tomography performed with my Rinntech Arbotom evaluates the condition of the wood in a cross section of your tree. This data assesses the strength loss due to decayed wood. I am the only arborist offering this service in Missouri.
Seattle, Washington
Using my IML RESI 300 to locate internal decayed wood in a Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) in Seattle, WA. Resistance drilling quantifies decayed wood or locates internal wood cracking, informing whether the tree can be saved.
WA, OR, ID, KS, AR, MO
Appraisal valuations for trees removed, pruned, or damaged without permission. My appraisal valuations have been used in many court filings and trials throughout the nation including Washington State, Oregon, Idaho, Kansas, Arkansas, and Missouri.
Missouri & Multi-state
Expert evaluation of why a tree has failed or its likelihood to fail. Extensive experience, knowledge, and training in analyzing tree failures and rebutting other arborists' reports regarding them.
Sedalia, Missouri
Treating an ash tree to prevent Emerald Ash Borer infection in Sedalia, Missouri 2022. Tree injections that prevent or treat oak, ash, or elm from Oak Wilt, EAB, Two-lined Chestnut Borer, and Dutch Elm Disease.
Missouri & Multi-state
Tree Risk Assessment Qualified (TRAQ) through the ISA for over 12 years. Assessments meet municipal standards for tree removal permits. Reports can be passed to a local tree service vendor for proper care.
Missouri
Using ArboRadix root sensing to determine the size and location of a tree's structural root plate. Often used to determine where underground construction can occur without damaging a tree's roots, or to assess structural stability after root damage.
Missouri
As a Certified Arborist, I have been diagnosing tree disorders for over 25 years. I work with many labs to utilize DNA PCR tests to confirm the presence of tree disorders — the most accurate diagnostic available.
California, Washington, Missouri
As ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist #633, services include tree removal permitting, tree inventories, and tree protection plans for development projects. Permits completed throughout California, Washington, and Missouri.
Missouri
All kinds of tree pruning from large branch removals in tight spots to small ornamental pruning. Growing up on a small orchard in California, fruit tree pruning is a specialty. As an ISA Certified Arborist: no topping, no stub cuts.
Stanford University, California
Posing after removing a large concrete-filled coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) at Stanford University in 2008. One of many complex removals completed during 14 years as the University's staff arborist.
