Arboricultural Impact Assessment
Our Arboricultural Impact Assessments evaluate tree impacts for development applications. We identify trees for retention or removal while ensuring compliance with council regulations. Our reports include detailed mapping, tree data, and protection strategies to support development approvals.
Tree Risk Assessment
Professional tree risk assessments identify potential hazards in urban environments. We use industry-standard methodologies to evaluate tree stability and provide mitigation strategies. Our reports help property owners manage liability and ensure public safety.
Decay Testing
Advanced decay testing using German-engineered IML Resistograph technology detects internal tree decay. This non-invasive method measures wood resistance to determine structural integrity. Results inform tree management decisions while preserving valuable specimens.
Cabling and Support
Cable bracing systems support structurally weak tree limbs. Our nylon cable installations redistribute weight without drilling into trees. This preserves tree health while reducing failure risks for limbs overhanging buildings or high-traffic areas.
Root Decompaction
Root zone decompaction improves tree health in urban environments. Using air spade technology, we restore soil porosity to enhance water drainage and root oxygenation. This process extends tree lifespan and improves urban canopy retention.

Assurance trees did a fantastic job on our vacant block at Murrays Beach. First downed a 15mtr ironbark, which would have been in our garage and then deadwooded 3 more 15 to 20 mtr trees... great team and hard… working lads. Our great thanks to Ben for the survey and Aaron, Mal, Chris and Kyle getting this job done.

I would highly recommend ATS, professional team with emphasis on safety. The best part is that they turn up to do the job when they say they will, and keep the customer informed of exactly what is happening.
