Online Tree Consulting
World-Class Arborist Advice — Available Worldwide
Expert guidance from an ISA-Certified Arborist with years of hands-on climbing experience, delivered wherever you are.
Real Guidance. Real Expertise. Zero Sales Pressure.
Trees don’t need sales pitches — they need honesty, skill, and someone who actually understands them.
Joshua Smith has spent his career in nearly every corner of the green industry:
-
Nursery work and plant production
-
Landscape design and site planning
-
Hands-on climbing arboriculture
-
High-risk removals and technical rigging
-
Large-scale environmental restoration projects
-
Remote, rugged field operations where improvisation and deep plant knowledge matter
This broad experience gives him a rare, grounded perspective: not just how a tree should look, but how it grows, reacts, survives, and fails in the real world.
And unlike companies trying to win a job, our online consultations are fully independent.
We aren’t showing up with a chipper or bucket truck. We aren’t trying to sell pruning or removals.
Our only goal is to give you clear, trustworthy guidance so you can make informed decisions.
Professional insight. Straightforward answers. No agenda.

We blend arboriculture with regenerative thinking.
We respect wildlife, soil health, water scarcity, and the long-term wellbeing of your landscape.
