Booking a consultation is easy. You can use the form on our website to request a quote, call us at 563-355-7508, or send an email. Briefly describe the problems your trees are experiencing or the project you're looking to complete, from pruning and removal to pest and disease treatment and more. We aim to respond promptly and arrange consultations at your convenience.

During the initial consultation, our arborist will thoroughly assess your trees' health and condition. They'll examine the trunk, branches, leaves, and overall structure, looking for signs of disease, pest activity, or structural issues. You'll receive a comprehensive overview of your trees' health and any recommended care plans. For specific projects, they’ll also make note of the location and ease of access, to determine the safest and most efficient way to complete the project. The consultation is also a great opportunity to ask questions about tree maintenance.

While not mandatory, we’d love to meet with you during the initial consultation. This allows for direct communication and ensures you understand the arborist's findings and recommendations. For subsequent services, your presence usually isn't required, but being available can be helpful if you have questions about the care process.
