Bradley Consulting Group
Independent, Third-Party Tree Consultants
BCG TREE MANAGEMENT CONSULTING Budgets and work scopes determined by contractors who provide the service being recommended have a vested interest in getting the work. Their consulting is actually a free estimate and can be interpreted as a conflict of interest. Third party experts may find efficiencies that more than pay their fees because there is no financial interest in their recommendations. Because tree care providers are motivated to maximize tree care sales, they are not as motivated to identify efficiencies as consulting arborists are. Owners, boards, tree care providers, economies, and managers can change over time. We ensure that proper care for the trees is consistent through the years, increasing the lifespan of the landscape and the percieved value of the property. Streamlined Bidding:
Why hire an independent, third-party registered consulting arborist to manage the trees:
A manager may have to face the arduous task of finding a new tree care company every year. The companies considered may have different opinions on how the trees should be cared for. We can help avoid contradicting recommendations and get true comparisons, enabling a better educated decision towards a clear course of action.
Continuity of Care:
Properties can change over time because owners may change, landscape or tree maintenance providers may change, and even management companies may change. The trees can become an after-thought and not get the care they need when these things happen. Having a consulting arborist on staff, a management company can safe-guard against the natural ebb and flow of business and maintain coherency throughout their portfolio.
Dealing with an Urban Forest:
Sometimes when communities are developed they are over-planted with trees to help sell the homes. A landscape can look appealing "now" without taking into consideration the care requirements "later". We can help find cost-saving solutions that are easy to understand and implement.
Deferment of Maintenance:
Perhaps some items of maintenance have to be deferred because of budget constraints. We can help determine sensible practices prioritized according to risk and cost expectancy.
