The Tree Resource – Consulting Arborist

Lisa came out to our property in the Hollywood Hills today. The lot has many, many mature trees, both native and non-​native. Lisa was very helpful assessing the status of the trees, and developing a care plan to ensure that they continue to survive through the drought. She was also excellent at recommending appropriate trees to plant in our climate and followed up right away with information on the trees she recommended. She is well connected to landscape architects and people that can trim the trees. She was very professional and knows her stuff cold. She is also very upbeat and positive. Other arborists that I have used in the past have been very negative and created a feeling of crisis but she was super upbeat. Her rate was very reasonable compared to other quotes that I got. Highly recommend her!

Lisa did a great job on my property. She is very professional and her rates are very reasonable for the service that she provides. She’s very knowledgeable and thorough. I will definitely recommend her

Lisa is a true pro at what she does. We had an ash tree growing into our house and she really helped us understand the risks and challenges. She even gave us the names of three tree trimmers to compare pricing. Lisa’s service went above and beyond!

Lisa did a fantastic job helping me understand and navigate the LA City sidewalk repair department. Our tree-​root cracked and broken sidewalks were quickly and efficiently repaired by the city in a matter of days.
Thanks for the advice and help. I definitely recommend Lisa!

Lisa is an expert in her field and we have used her as a consultant in Newport Beach and for our home in Wyoming. Her extensive knowledge saved our olive trees and also saved us thousands of dollars on our pine planting in Wyoming. Her thorough analysis of wind conditions in Wyoming are what determined where our Wyoming pines would be planted and ultimately thrive.
We have also used her services to determine what illnesses our Japanese trees were suffering from. She recommended a service to bring all of trees back to health, through pruning and pest control.
We highly recommend her services if you want a true tree expert. She is worth every penny.

Lisa Smith seemed very professional; looked at my neighbor’s eucalyptus trees, took photos, and said she would send me a detailed list of recommendations with photos.
I had been in conflict with my neighbor for many years; my neighbor did not want the eucalyptus cut, and I wanted to hack off the large dangerous limbs hanging over my house and property. I hoped the opinion of a professional consulting arborist would allow me to move forward with the cutting.
Lisa Smith told me she would send her recommendations and photos to me before she said anything to my neighbor.
However, Lisa Smith exchanged emails with my neighbor and told my neighbor that «there are a few small limbs that would benefit from proper pruning.» This exchange of emails was before Lisa Smith sent me her recommendations and photos. Now my neighbor expects me to trim only a few small limbs, and I am not sure how to proceed. Because I paid Lisa Smith and my neighbor did not, I do not know why Lisa Smith corresponded with my neighbor.

In touch with nature and the SoCal plant and tree life. Very professional and informed.
