Plant Pathologists
Plant pathologists are trained to diagnose structural and functional changes in plant and tree tissues caused by diseases and environmental stressors. If you suspect your trees may be experiencing a health issue, a professional health inspection by a plant pathologist or consulting arborist can provide valuable insight. Since our inception, Arborilogical’s consulting arborists have been trained by our plant pathologists, Kevin Bassett and Russell Peters, ensuring a strong foundation in tree health diagnostics.
Consulting/Certified Arborists
Arborilogical Services® employs eleven International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborists, most of whom hold degrees in forestry, horticulture, or plant pathology. Their combination of formal education, professional certification, and real-world experience provides our clients with reliable, science-based tree care guidance.
Our consulting arborists, supported by a team of highly trained staff and managers, enable us to deliver knowledgeable recommendations and consistently high-quality tree care services.
Crew Foreman/Expert Tree Climbers
Arborilogical Services® tree climbers and crew foremen are among the most skilled and experienced in the state. Renowned Texas horticulturist Neil Sperry has described our climbers and crew leaders as “Masters at their Craft.”
