Arborist reports are a critical part of any tree care plan.
Arborist reports provide vital information about the health of your trees and how to properly care for them. These reports are often required by local municipalities and regulatory agencies in order to ensure that tree care is being conducted in a safe and responsible manner. An arborist report provides detailed information about a tree’s condition, including its size, health, and any potential risks or hazards associated with it.
An arborist report is a formal document that outlines the tree inventory, tree health and the implications of the trees on or around a property. These are typically required when applying for tree removal permits, development or exterior renovation projects. Our fully certified consulting arborist knows the municipal offices, municipal bylaws and local contractors, ensuring an informed, transparent and collaborative approach to tree management and tree protection plans (TPP).Â
Note: You may not require a formal report, as we encourage clients to participate in the property survey, allowing you to decide the best course of action.
