What Is an Arborist Report?

An arborist report is a formal document prepared by a certified arborist (ISA Certified), assessing the condition, species, and health of trees on or near your property. Municipalities often require these reports when:

  • Applying for a tree removal permit

  • Submitting construction or development applications

  • Evaluating potential hazards or tree preservation strategies

Our reports are compliant with city-specific regulations and include maps, photos, tree protection recommendations, and long-term care plans where needed.
