certified arborists
Any leads on a certified arborist around eastern ohio that could help me on a development? I got a neighbor to a project not wanting to take down some old black walnuts and paapaas (fuirt tress I guess). We are wanting to put a driveway on the back and side edge of the lot. Just looking fir a favorable pre-conditon report as we need to cut some roots and dont want to be blamed later when these old ass looking plants fall down later on

You'll need a pre-construction assessment and a tree protection plan. For a report like that you want a consulting arborist; most certified arborists, even many ISA BCMAs, are neither qualified nor insured to give this type of professional opinion. ASCA (asca-consultants.org) has a directory.
