Services
Arborist Reports
Arborist reports detail tree health, protection strategies, and compliance for development sites. Our AQF Level 5 qualified team prepares council-compliant documentation to safeguard trees during construction. These reports are essential for legal approvals and environmental stewardship.
Tree Protection Plans
Tree protection plans outline measures to preserve canopies and root systems during development. We design strategies aligned with AS 4970-2009 standards to ensure regulatory compliance and long-term tree viability. These plans are critical for council submissions and site management.
Tree Valuation
Tree valuation determines the health and retention value of trees on development sites. Using the Barrell CARe methodology, we assess physical condition to recommend treatment, removal, or protection. This process maximises site potential while preserving ecological assets.
Tree Safety Audits
Tree safety audits evaluate structural integrity and disease risks to prevent property damage or injury. Our AQF Level 5 arborists inspect trees on residential and commercial properties, providing remediation or removal recommendations to meet legal obligations.
Tree Surveys
Tree surveys document species, dimensions, and retention values for landscape planning. We conduct detailed assessments to inform development applications and conservation strategies. These surveys ensure compliance with council requirements for forested or sensitive sites.
