Liriope's Muse: When should I call a Certified Arborist

This image shows a headshot of Eric Putnam BCMA standing next to a palm tree with his arms crossed.

This is the equivalent of "When should I call my doctor?" and there are many reasons you may need to call an arborist.


You should call anytime you feel your tree seems unhealthy,  if your HOA has certain requirements that need to be met, if you notice any drastic changes in the appearance of the tree, or if you feel that your tree is posing a fall risk/danger to your home and safety. An experienced arborist can provide you with a diagnosis and a treatment plan or course of action that is in the best interest of your tree's health.    At Eric Putnam BCMA, Inc. our top priority is the health of your tree. We trim and prune trees ethically and believe that tree removal should be the last resort. We stray away from cosmetic procedures and harsh chemicals and only do what is absolutely necessary for the health and vitality of your tree.


Eric Putnam BCMA offers service estimates free of charge and a $150 fee for consultations. He enjoys taking the time to come out and assess/diagnose your trees. So should you need an arborist, Eric is the guy to call!
