NatureLink Design
A holistic approach to tree care and landscape design that is healthy for the environment and humans alike
Services
Tree Consultation and Risk Assessment
Do you need advice about the trees on your property? I will inspect your trees for damage, disease, and site conditions that may be affecting their health. I can create a tree care plan to provide a healthier environment for your trees, or help you determine whether removal is necessary. Since I am an independent consultant, you can be assured that my advice is unbiased.
Tree Inventory and Preservation Plans
You may need a tree inventory and preservation plan to meet city or county requirements for development. Since I have prior experience as an Urban Forester in Arlington and Fairfax counties, I know what it takes to get a plan approved. My goal is to find ways to best preserve and protect trees during development.
Landscape Design
I believe that a landscape can be both beautiful and healthy for the environment. This can be achieved by choosing locally sourced materials and native plants, and working with the existing site conditions. When a landscape is designed to work within its natural environment, it's gratifying to observe the wildlife that it attracts.
