During Your Site Consultation

Site consultations are generally carried out from March to November. The consultation is 30 minutes and will take place within a two-hour window during working hours on a weekday. A limited number of evening and weekend appointments are also available. During your site consultation, your arborist will:

  • Assess your soil, sunlight and available space;
  • Assist you in selecting appropriate species and planting locations;
  • Talk with you about proper care and maintenance for your new trees and shrubs;
  • Request payment;
  • Finalize the siting form that outlines the planting locations in detail, as well as the species selected for each location. The siting form will also act as your receipt.
