The firm's previous in-depth experience with a wide range and varying scale of comprehensive private and public agency clients has solidified our reputation as a highly reliable leader and trusted consultant of design and its implementation. As arborists, we can provide objective evaluations that are based upon proven methodologies and logical application of risk assessment and observed defects. Previous work as Committee Chair for the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado (ALCC) Arbitration Committee and participant in scores of litigations has given Donald H. Godi the experience needed to be a seasoned participant in case analysis and litigation, arbitration, mediation and negotiation. Attention to detail as trained designers has helped develop the skill necessary to see every angle of technically involved landscape and tree evaluations and to relate the value of the urban forest.
