Major decisions about trees — whether to remove, treat, prune, or plant near a structure — deserve expert input. Bestcare Gardeners offers professional arborist consultations across Nairobi and Kenya, giving homeowners, developers, and property managers clear, expert guidance before work begins.
What Our Arborist Consultations Cover
Our arborist consultations are suited to a wide range of situations, from routine advice to formal reports:
- Pre-Construction Tree Surveys – Assessing which trees can be retained safely during development.
- Tree Retention and Protection Planning – Recommending protection zones and root-safe building practices.
- Removal and Preservation Advice – Independent guidance on whether a tree should be saved or removed.
- Species Selection Consulting – Advising on the best trees for a given site, climate, and purpose.
- Dispute and Boundary Tree Advice – Objective assessment for tree-related disputes with neighbours.
- Written Arborist Reports – Formal documentation for permits, insurance, or legal purposes.
Whether you need a quick opinion or a formal report, our arborist consultations give you sound, experience-based recommendations.

Why Consult a Professional Arborist
Decisions about mature trees are often irreversible. A short arborist consultations session can prevent costly mistakes — from removing a tree that could have been saved, to building too close to roots that later cause structural problems.
