Landscaping Expert Witnesses

Landscaping is utilized in construction projects for residential homes, business parks, commercial properties, and recreational areas.

Landscaping Expert Witnesses may be called upon to provide expert opinions on a wide variety of legal matters.

Lawsuits may involve premise liability, an issue with the quality of the landscaping project, or a zoning-related case.

Any defect taking place in a maintained and engineered environment may be the result of faulty landscaping such as:

Problems with irrigation
Drainage
Broken hydraulic systems
Poorly installed cement or soil
Any other type of problem in relation to the surrounding environment

Building the environment to support tree safety is also essential in the landscaping process, as any injury or wrongful death resulting from a tree accident may be the result of a poorly designed area and negligence regarding landscape maintenance.

Landscape expert witnesses are often knowledgeable in tree care, tree propagation, and tree appraisal.

Landscaping expert witnesses are also experienced with other aspects likely associated with a landscaped environment including:

Crop production
Plant propagation
Planting plans
Slopes
Erosion
Pruning
Arboriculture
Ornamental horticulture
