Expert Answers to the Questions Your Trees Are Raising
Ensure A Healthy Future for your Trees & Shrubs
Is that leaning tree safe? Should I plant a red maple here — or is the soil wrong? Is this oak healthy enough to keep, or is it time to remove it before a storm makes the decision for me? What’s the tree on my property line actually worth if it falls on my neighbor’s shed?
These aren’t questions a landscaper can answer. They require a trained eye, industry-standard evaluation methods, and real experience. What you need is a consultation — not a sales pitch.

When You Need a Consultation:
Most homeowners don’t realize they need a professional consultation until a problem is already serious. Here’s when to call us first — not after:
A tree is leaning, cracked, or storm-damaged and you’re not sure if it’s safe
You’re buying or selling a property and need the trees evaluated
Your insurance company, HOA, attorney, or municipality needs documentation
Construction or excavation is planned near existing trees
You’re planning a landscape and want the right species in the right place
A tree is declining and you need a diagnosis before investing in treatment
A neighbor’s tree, a boundary tree, or a liability question needs an expert opinion
Our Consultation Services
Five services. One team. Whatever your trees and shrubs need, our ISA Certified Arborists are ready.
Tree Risk Assessments
A systematic evaluation of tree condition, structural defects, and failure potential — documented in a written report with clear risk ratings. The right call before a storm, before a construction project, or before a decision between keeping and removing a tree.
Tree Health Reports
A detailed diagnostic evaluation of a specific tree or group of trees — identifying pests, diseases, environmental stressors, and structural issues. You get a prioritized action plan with treatment and care recommendations.
Species Selection & Landscape Planning
Right plant, right place. We help you choose species that will thrive in your specific soil, sun exposure, moisture conditions, and long-term vision — and we tell you which popular species will underperform or become a liability on your property.
Tree Preservation During Construction
Planning an addition, a pool, a new driveway? Construction damage is the number-one killer of mature trees — and most of the damage happens below ground where you can’t see it. We assess which trees are worth protecting, specify protection zones, and advise on root, trunk, and canopy preservation.
Documentation & Expert Reports
Written reports for insurance claims, HOA disputes, property boundary questions, pre-purchase evaluations, and legal proceedings. Our documentation is prepared by ISA Certified Arborists and built to industry standards.
What's At Stake
Taylor’s Way brings you confident decisions grounded in professional expertise and written documentation you can share, reference, and rely on. Our Certified Arborists will give you risk ratings, species recommendations, and peace of mind.
Removing a healthy tree because it looked risky — when it wasn’t
Keeping a hazardous tree because it looked fine — until it wasn’t
Planting the wrong species and fighting that decision for 20 years
Construction damage that kills mature trees 3-5 years later
Insurance or HOA disputes without professional documentation back to you
