Meet Jeremy VanMaanen
ISA Certified Arborist SO-7257A | Certified Alabama Urban Forester | 4th-Generation Tree Service Provider
I grew up in a family of tree service providers and have worked around trees throughout my life. My consulting work brings that practical field background to the questions property owners, contractors and professional teams need answered.
Judgment before work
The goal is clear observations, independent findings and practical recommendations. Consulting can stand on its own, with production work staying with your chosen contractor.
Choose the decision you need help with
Storm & insurance documentation
Document observed tree damage, site conditions and arboricultural recommendations. Insurance coverage and claim payment remain the insurer's determination.
HOA, condo & commercial properties
Tree inventories, work priorities, contractor-scope review and maintenance planning for boards and property managers.
Buying property with mature trees
Tree due diligence before a purchase decision: observable conditions, management needs and follow-up priorities.
Development & construction
Inventories, preservation recommendations, construction-impact observations and tree-protection recommendations, coordinated with licensed design professionals where required.
Tree companies & professional referrals
Credentialed arborist consulting and reporting support. Your company retains the customer and production work. Jeremy's consulting offer does not include outside climbing or production labor.
