ARBORIST REPORTS

We’re very familiar with all of the local cities and county ordinances for tree protection.

We can provide tree preservation reports, which are often required to process building permits or to get permits for tree encroachment or removal. If you’re in the planning stage or already have site plans, we can visit the site and give you a free estimate for the cost of the report. We also provide on-site supervision by a Certified Arborist, as is sometimes required by the permitting agency

As cities and suburbs expand, wooded lands are being developed into commercial and residential sites. Homes are constructed in the midst of trees to take advantage of the aesthetic and environmental value of the wooded lots. Wooded properties can be worth as much as 20 percent more than those without trees, and people value the opportunity to live among trees.

Unfortunately, the construction process can be deadly to nearby trees, especially if if the trees were in poor condition to start with. Some trees die quickly and some may take several years to decline. We recommend meeting with an arborist in the conceptional stage, so you can learn which trees are worthy or preservation, and what should be considered in the design phase to insure their survival.
