Our Qualified Staff

Plant Pathologists

A plant pathologist is trained to interpret and diagnose the structural and functional changes caused by diseases and environmental issues in plant and tree tissues. If you suspect your trees have a health issue, it may be beneficial to have a plant pathologist or consulting arborist provide a health inspection. Since our inception, Arborilogical's consulting arborists have received training from our Plant Pathologists Kevin Bassett and Russell Peters.

Consulting/Certified Arborists

Arborilogical Services® currently employs eleven International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborists, most have a degree in forestry, horticulture, or plant pathology. You can be confident that our arborists are formally educated and have a high degree of industry knowledge as well as experience. This translates to well-educated clients that understand their trees and how to properly care for them. Our consulting arborist group, coupled with other formally trained staff and managers, allows us to provide high-quality tree care services.
