About
I’m Caleb Banister, your trusted ally when one of your most valuable assets—your trees—have been damaged.
With over 15 years of experience as an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, I specialize in tree appraisals and consulting. My work has included serving as an expert witness in tree-related court cases, conducting numerous appraisals, and overseeing the management of thousands of trees in public spaces across Oklahoma.
Trees have been my life’s work, and they are deeply meaningful to me. I’m passionate about showing that trees are more than beautiful plants—they are assets with measurable value. When a tree is damaged or destroyed, it carries real financial consequences, and I’m here to ensure that value is recognized and protected.
If your trees have been damaged, let’s work together to determine their true worth.
Oklahoma Tree Appraisals
I specialize in tree appraisals for residential, commercial, and legal purposes across Oklahoma. Trees are more than just part of the landscape — they provide aesthetic beauty, foster emotional and historical connections, and offer invaluable environmental benefits like air purification, erosion control, and habitat support.
But beyond these intrinsic values, trees also hold measurable financial worth. Whether you're dealing with property damage, insurance claims, or land disputes, a professional tree appraisal can help determine the monetary value of your trees with accuracy and credibility.
Why You Might Need a Tree Appraisal:
-
Chemical Trespass: If herbicide or pesticide drift from neighboring properties damages your trees, you may be entitled to compensation.
-
Vehicle Collisions: When an automobile accident impacts trees on your land, the loss can be assessed and included in insurance or legal claims.
-
Neighbor Disputes: Trees that are mistakenly or illegally cut down by a neighbor may represent significant financial loss—our appraisals can support your case.
-
Development Planning: Know the value of trees before construction begins to make informed decisions about preservation or removal.
-
Storm or Natural Damage: After severe weather, a tree appraisal can help with insurance recovery or replanting assessments.
We use industry-standard methodologies recognized by courts, insurers, and municipalities to ensure your trees are valued fairly and accurately.
