Terms

The guides on this site are general educational information written by a certified arborist. They are not a substitute for an inspection of your property, for direction from your fire agency, or for legal or insurance advice. Regulations and local programs change; each page shows the date it was last checked, and primary sources are linked so you can confirm current requirements.

Consulting engagements are governed by the written fee confirmation issued before the site visit. Reports describe conditions observed on the date of the visit and the professional opinion of the author; they do not guarantee the outcome of any inspection, permit application, or insurance decision.

During an active wildfire, follow official evacuation orders. Call 911 for emergencies.
