Arborist Reports

Property and Tree Identification

• Location: The address or location where the trees are situated.

• Tree Identification: Details about each tree, including species (scientific and common names), age (approximate), size (height and diameter), and any unique characteristics.

• Mapping: Some reports include a map or diagram that shows the exact location of each tree on the property.

​Recommendations for Care and Maintenance

• Pruning and Removal: Advice on whether certain branches or trees should be pruned or removed due to safety concerns, disease, or other issues.

• Treatment Plans: Recommendations for treating diseases or pests, such as pesticide application or soil treatments.

• Soil and Watering Needs: Suggestions for improving soil quality or addressing watering needs for healthier growth.

• Stabilization: If needed, recommendations for structural support (e.g., cabling, bracing) for trees at risk of falling or structural failure.

• Future Care: Ongoing care and maintenance plans, such as regular inspections, fertilization schedules, or mulching.

Tree Health Assessment

• • Health Status: The arborist will assess the overall health of each tree, looking for signs of disease, pests, poor growth, or stress. This might include the condition of the foliage, trunk, branches, and root system.

  • Visual Inspection: A thorough visual inspection to identify issues like dieback, leaf discoloration, or insect damage.

  • Pest and Disease Identification: The report will highlight any pests or diseases affecting the trees and might recommend treatment plans.

Legal Considerations 

• Regulatory Compliance: In some cases, the report may include references to local laws, zoning codes, or environmental regulations. This is important if the tree work being proposed requires a permit or approval from the local government or environmental agencies.

• Tree Protection: The report might also outline guidelines for protecting trees during construction or development projects.

Structural Integrity 

• Tree Stability: An evaluation of the tree's structural stability, including the root system and any risk factors (e.g., leaning, cracked trunks, deadwood).

• Risk Assessment: If the tree poses a potential hazard to people, buildings, or infrastructure (like power lines or roads), the report will detail the risks and suggest actions (e.g., pruning, bracing, removal).

• Root Health: The condition of the root system, including signs of compaction, damage, or root rot.
