Your Tree’s Health is Our Mission

Speaking for the Trees

Speaking for the Trees, Inc. was founded in May 2019 with a passion for tree preservation and a deep commitment to the green industry. Our experience began in interior landscaping, caring for plants throughout Downtown Atlanta and Buckhead, before expanding into landscaping, horticulture, and professional arboriculture.

After completing intensive horticulture studies at Chattahoochee Tech and gaining hands-on experience in the field, founder Christie Bryant discovered her calling in arboriculture. She went on to work with two major tree care companies as a sales arborist, developing extensive experience in tree health, preservation, risk assessment, and client consultation.

Today, Christie is a Board Certified Master Arborist, a member of the American Society of Consulting Arborists (ASCA), and holds the Tree and Plant Appraisal Qualification (TPAQ). This specialized qualification provides additional expertise in professionally evaluating the monetary value of trees and plants using recognized appraisal principles and methods.

Tree Damage, Loss & Trespass Appraisals

When a valuable tree is damaged, destroyed, improperly cut, or wrongfully removed, determining its value requires professional knowledge and careful evaluation. Speaking for the Trees provides tree and plant value, damage, loss, and trespass appraisals for property disputes, insurance claims, legal matters, and potential restitution.

Our goal is to provide knowledgeable, objective guidance while helping property owners understand the condition, significance, and value of their trees. Whether you need an appraisal following tree damage or professional guidance about preserving trees on your property, we are here to help.

At Speaking for the Trees, preservation is always the priority whenever possible.
