Municipal Tree Consulting & Urban Forestry Services
Evergreen Tree Care supports cities, public agencies, and local districts with expert arborist consulting, large-scale diagnostics, and long-term urban forestry planning. Our ISA Certified Arborists provide the technical insight and field experience needed to maintain safe, healthy, and compliant public landscapes throughout the East Bay.
Our Municipal Consulting Process
Evergreen Tree Care follows a collaborative, transparent process designed to support city staff, public works teams, HOAs, school districts, and other agencies responsible for managing public trees. Each project—whether a single-site assessment or a citywide inventory—is guided by ISA Certified Arborists and based on industry best practices.
Project Discovery & Scope Definition
We meet with agency representatives to understand goals, timelines, budget considerations, and any regulatory or environmental constraints. This step ensures our team aligns with your operational needs, whether you’re addressing immediate safety concerns or planning long-term urban forest management.
Field Assessment & Data Collection
Our ISA Certified Consulting Arborists conduct on-site evaluations or review existing datasets to assess tree condition, species composition, and potential hazards. Depending on project goals, this may include risk assessments, inventories, mapping, or targeted diagnostic testing.
Analysis, Planning & Recommendations
We analyze collected data to identify maintenance priorities, safety risks, and long-term management opportunities. Our team provides clear, defensible recommendations—aligned with ANSI A300 standards—to support budgeting, capital planning, and resource allocation.
Reporting & Implementation Support
Evergreen delivers detailed written reports and, when needed, presents findings to public works teams, planning departments, or boards. We also assist with implementation, whether it involves scheduled maintenance, hazard mitigation, policy development, or ongoing monitoring programs.
- Who Needs a Tree Risk Assessment?
Tree risk assessments are essential for anyone responsible for public safety, property management, or asset protection.
Municipal & Public Works Departments
Cities and public agencies rely on our assessments to evaluate street and park trees, plan mitigation, and document compliance with local standards.
Property & Asset Managers
HOAs and facility managers use tree risk assessments to plan maintenance, manage budgets, and minimize liability exposure across multiple sites.

Before construction begins, we assess tree stability and root zones to determine preservation potential and protection requirements.

Our certified reports provide expert documentation for claims, disputes, or legal proceedings involving tree failure or property damage.
