Arborist recommendations for a sick tree? Has anyone had a good experience with someone in the business of giving expert tree advice? I have four large pine trees (50’+) next to my house and it seems two of them have recently gotten sick. I’m looking for an expert to recommend a course of action to resuscitate them or at least prevent it from spreading. It seems like there are a lot of tree trimming companies out there happy to advise hiring themselves to do removal, but cutting something down is different from really knowing what’s going on. I’m ok with removing them but I want to be sure I’m getting a sound recommendation. Ideally I’d like to pay someone without a conflict of interest, just for the inspection and expert advice. Does anyone do this?
