Ep 29: Can Trees Be a Problem When I'm Property Developing? - with Bob Andersen

Let’s talk about trees.  I know, I know - you might be thinking, “What the heck does this have to do with property development and what kind of information can you shed on trees? Well, there are actually a number of issues that can be caused by trees and awareness could save you from potential heartache. Bob and I discuss how trees can impact property development deals, the differences between good and bad arborists out there, and go through a number of Bob’s adventures in the world of trees being an issue in property development.
