Hi, just a couple of comments for your consideration:

 

Photo's would compliment the general look and feel of the guide and add clarifictaion perhaps to some of the diagrams (trouble is finding appropriate ones of the right quality, pictures wise not pruning wise, I've found.)

 

IN the points to ask when 'hiring an arborist' you could consider what is the relevant industry standard, expecting the response of 'BS3998' (very current) and perhaps European Tree Pruning Guide, whihc all good Uk&I arborists will be aware of.

 

Lastly as well as mentioning AA Membership you could mention the 'ARB Approved Contractor' scheme perhaps alongside ISA Certified Arborist as the 'Choose Your Arborist' leaflet does.

 

 

Thanks for the opportunity!

Paul
