About Sutton Consulting Arborist's, Inc. In 1988, John Sutton moved to southern Florida and worked as foreman with a local tree service before launching his own business, Sutton Consulting Arborist, Inc. in 1996. John has been in the arboricultural industry for over 35 years and has always been interested in trees. As a boy growing up in West Monroe, Louisiana, he helped his father in their family-owned sawmill. It was there he began to learn about trees, everything from forest survey, logging, to cutting timber for finished products. After serving in the US Air Force, he returned to the tree business in Birmingham, Alabama where he worked as a tree climber. In 1986, John was certified as an arborist by the State of Louisiana Forestry from Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry; in 1992 he became an ISA Certified Arborist through the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certification #SO-0326; in 2002 he attained his certification as a Certified Landscape Inspector by Landscape Inspectors Association of Florida and in 2006 became a graduate of The American Society of Consulting Arborist Academy. Over time, he's added to his practical education with much formal education: University of Florida, Tropical Palms and Cycads Short Course (Fall 1997); Broward County Tree and Landscape Ordinance Seminar (Spring 2000); Florida Trees 2001-2006, Trees of Florida 2004-2006 and various courses for Appraisals, Native Habitats and Current Utility Arboriculture, to name just a few. He continues his education annually through various seminars and work shops. John's arboricultural expertise has helped many clients achieve and maintain acres of flourishing flora and trees. We are especially proud of our Arboriculture accomplishment for Trump International Golf Club, The Boca Resort and Club and The Breakers of the Palm Beaches. His professional experience has been earned while working in different environments, from North Carolina to California. John has won numerous awards. He is an invaluable member of landscaping projects, from golf course construction, industrial park development, to college campuses. In addition, he works with many historical and champion trees such as The Champion Green Buttonwood tree located in Palm Beach, Florida which is the oldest and largest of its kind in the United States. A History of Projects both Large and Small We have dealt with a wide variety of landscaping projects throughout the state, including world-famous resorts and golf clubs.
