TCM IS THE CONSULTANT OF CHOICE

I have been a Certified Arborist since 1991 and actively involved with the Tree Care Industry for over 42 years. I am a Registered Consulting Arborist with the American Society of Consulting Arborist. In 2015 I retired as the assistant Division Head in the Urban Forestry Division for the City of Los Angeles which manages one of the largest street tree populations in the nation. Prior to coming to the City of Los Angeles I was the owner / operator of Neighborhood Tree Service and shortly thereafter I started consulting on a part time basis. In 1999 I started consulting on a regular basis and that’s when we changed our name to Neighborhood Consulting Arborist. Then, due to the increase in Court Case work we started our current company Tree Case Management in 2010.

Greg is an expert, an artist, a friend.  When my contractor told me I had to cut down my beloved coral tree to accommodate my architect's design, I turned to Greg for help. He successfully reduced the size of its roots + kept the tree flourishing safely.  It's never looked  more beautiful.
