CERTIFIED ARBORIST SERVICES

Whether it is an insect, disease, or other issue affecting your tree or landscape, we can help. Rather than guessing what the problem is, Heritage Tree will use a systematic process to pinpoint and diagnose the cause of your tree’s disorder, then give you a recommendation for treatment if one exists.

If your tree or landscape has been damaged or destroyed during construction activities or some other incident like a car crash or unauthorized pruning, Heritage Tree can appraise the cost to replace or repair the tree. If you live in San Luis Obispo or the surrounding area, give us a call.

Rodney Thurman holds a Tree Risk Assessment Qualification® issued by the International Society of Arboriculture. Sometimes even healthy looking trees can be unstable or unsafe. Before you buy or build your next home be sure to have us perform a tree risk assessment to determine the structurally integrity of your trees and identify whether any tree hazards exist. 

Tree protection is a very important part of developing a piece of land, remodeling a home or performing any other construction activity that occurs near a tree. Damage caused to a root system can lead to destabilization, severe decline or even death of a tree. Heritage Tree can develop a tree protection plan that will not only help you be compliant with local ordinances, but also help keep your tree in healthy condition during your project and into the future.

Once you have your tree protection plan and have implemented recommended tree protection measures, it is important to monitor contractors who are working on site to make sure they are doing everything to keep your trees safe. We facilitate pre-construction meetings with contractors to give tree protection guidance & oversight throughout the duration of your project.

If you own a large tract of oak woodland, or a large property with lots of landscape trees it can be difficult and expensive to keep up with the care they need. We can provide you with a tree inventory & management plan that will give you an assessment of your woodland or landscape tree health, type of work required and timetable for work to be completed. With a management plan in place, you can begin to budget for maintenance and prioritize your tree management goals.

Whether you are designing a new subdivision or doing a community street tree planting, it is important to choose the right tree for the right place. Heritage Tree can help you design your street tree planting plan and address everything from tree placement specifications to species diversity and drought tolerance. 

If your trees or landscape are already affected by a pest or disease, we can make a correct diagnosis and develop a customized solution. Early detection is key for quickly resolving tree health issues. Let us create a proactive pest and disease management plan that will help increase the health and vigor of your trees. 

Choosing the right tree for the right place is a very important decision. Tree and landscape plans are expensive, so it makes sense that you want to choose trees and plants that you won’t regret planting. We can give you suggestions for trees that are suited for our environment that will also provide you with the aesthetics you want. Before you make your next tree purchase or finalize your landscape plans, let us review your tree selections so you can plant a tree that will last for generations.

The county of San Luis Obispo and various cities throughout the county require that you be issued a permit to remove a tree. Removing a tree without a permit can be a costly mistake. At Heritage Tree Arboricultural Consulting Inc., we are familiar with all of the tree ordinances in the county and can guide you through the process so you can comply with the ordinance and get your permit processed quickly.
