Need arborist rec
Some nice old Texas Oaks on the family property in Dripping Springs are
ailing. Need a recommendation for someone to come out and determine if they can be saved, and if so, how. Any good native tree folks out there that do this kind of consulting work? |

He's not cheap, but he's good. -- I agree about Pat. I worked for him about 7 years, starting in 93. he had about 20 yrs experience then. He knows his stuff, but his climbers are not necessarily certified arborists. For second opinions, there are two criteria that can screen out the hackers. One is certification by the International Society of Arboriculture (link below; contains DB of Certified Arbs searchable by zip code). This is fairly basic competency testing, but most CA's should be able to offer good advice on native trees. Also, www.treesaregood.com includes several ISA brochures that can help you learn about tree care basics so you feel better informed when discussing trees with your chosen arborist(s). If you are really careful or suspect a serious problem, then look for membership in American Society of Consulting Arborists (search google--I don't have the link handy now). Pat Wentworth is both CA and a member of ASCA last I checked, BTW. In the YP, look under "arborist" instead of "tree services" to get a list of companies that have tried to go beyond I-bought-a-chainsaw-and-a-ladder tree companies. good luck, Keith Babberney ISA Certified Arborist #TX-236A For more info about the International Society of Arboriculture, please visit http://www.isa-arbor.com/home.asp.
