Porterfield Tree Care/ Services

Services

Consulting

As a member of the American Society of Consulting Arborists since 1996, I have written many reports on a variety of tree care topics. I am frequently asked to provide monetary valuations for mature trees in landscapes.

Advice

I enjoy providing practical tree care advice to individual tree owners and groups. I am frequently asked about insect and disease problems, watering, fertilization, and other tree care needs. I am happy to do a

"tree walk" around properties to informally discuss tree care needs. I can provide referrals for other tree services such as tree removal, stump grinding, spraying, etc.

Legal Testimony/Expert Witness

I've provided legal testimony as an expert witness in a number of court rooms over the years. These have involved, among other things, valuations, tree damage and tree loss cases.

Public Speaking

I have spoken to a variety of groups over the years including garden clubs, community groups and educational groups. My talks can vary in length and I try to be both informative and entertaining.

Training

I have provided training to industry professionals regarding tree pruning, tree support systems and lightning protecting systems. I can also provide training to non-professionals in basic tree pruning, planting, and care.
