You might consider contacting a pro like a golf course superintendent or university campus landscape supervisor. Sometimes, they hire arborists, and they care about who they hire.
You could go to http://www.isa-arbor.com - click to enter, then on the menu select the option to find an arborist. Then enter your zip code to find a Certified Arborist. If you don't want soliciting, tell them up front. And let them know you don't want free advice. That way you are paying just for consulting. There are consulting arborists that just do consulting. Often, their niche is indicated.

I can't understand why one would think an arborist would have the "needed"
insurance... I have my own corporation, install doors and do other work, and know one need not get worker's comp nor unemployment insurance without employees since the owners don't qualify for them. In fact, the State asks you not to even apply for such! And arborists are more likely to be self employed than most....even foresters...not that I truly care or want to start an arguement nor flame the original poster...

John What were you doing in left field, and why did you fling this in from there? Nobody mentioned insurance till now. A consulting arborist would not need any insurance except his own health insurance, his auto and maybe theft, and possibly a modest liability policy in case he trips over something while gazing into your trees. I'd say it's quite likely anyone making a business out of consulting would have all of these. A company that does actually work on/to/in trees should have a liability policy that specifies it applies to work in trees (and probably the yard guys don't have it, FYI). Perhaps if there are several employees, workman's comp comes into play, but if any employees are present there should be some sort of insurance on them, as well (the liability policy can include this if there are only a few employees). Some have it, and some don't. You can find out by asking. Sorry to follow this tangent, but I'm, curious to hear how we got here. K |

I'm not sure whether you or others would like our situation here in Oregon for a pattern to follow, or not.
About 9 out of 10 Certified Arborists here either own a licensed business or work for a licensed business. All tree service businesses in Oregon are licensed with either the Construction Contractors Board or the Landscape Contractors Board and are required by law to carry bond, insurance and workers compensation insurance. Only a few Certified Arborists are in a different employ - like university campus horticulture superintendents or the head of the Oregon Garden public botanical garden. So, here, basically every arborist that is likely to be hired is under a license. Likewise with all landscape contractors. It works out very well. This spring, it is expected that all arborists will be under the landscape contractors board, compiling the entire green industry under on umbrella so they can communicate more freely. Quote:
