Need a report for council, a DA or a tree dispute? Our qualified arborists assess and document it properly.
Councils often ask for an arborist report before they will approve tree work or a development. A clear, professional report makes that process far smoother.
We prepare arborist reports and provide consulting across the Hills and Hornsby areas. Whether you need a tree assessed for removal, a report to support a council application, or advice on protecting trees during a build, we give you a documented, qualified opinion.
Our reports cover the health, structure and risk of the tree, the reason for the proposed work, and the relevant standards, which is what councils are looking for when they assess an application.
Not sure exactly what you need? That is what we are here for. Send a photo or give us a call and we will point you the right way.

View serviceGood to know
Councils commonly require one before approving removal of a protected tree, or as part of a development application. If your council has asked for a report, we can prepare it.
Yes. Our reports are prepared by Cert III and V qualified arborists with the experience councils expect.
A report cannot guarantee approval, but a well-documented assessment of a tree's condition and risk gives council the information they need to make a decision.
