Jeremy Rappoport for Impartial Expert Services

As with any specialty, a landscape, arboriculture, horticulture or site construction defect lawsuit requires an experienced industry expert witness to evaluate and develop an impartial expert opinion. Unlike certain construction trades, landscape design, construction and maintenance services ultimately produce a living, constantly changing product that over time may exhibit defective or undesirable results.

Landscape, arboriculture, horticulture and site construction lawsuits may be the result of a combination of factors or conditions that require a knowledgeable professional to unravel the complexities and ascertain fault. Landscape Architects, landscape contractors, gardeners, and even handyman, are all involved in various forms of landscape work. Determining industry standard of care for a commercial project designed by a landscape architect and installed by a licensed contractor is far different from a residential installation by an unlicensed gardener. Additional complexities arise when a landscape subcontractor works for a general contractor and an accident or problem occurs. General/subcontractor conflicts are not uncommon but require an expert experienced in project management and subcontracting. Most landscape cases involve determining if the defendant satisfied industry standard of care.
