Tree care first.
Paper when you need it.

Most arborist calls aren't about documents, they're "is my tree okay?" We diagnose disease and decline, plan pruning that keeps mature trees healthy, and tell you straight when removal is (and isn't) the answer. The formal reports below are for the times someone official needs it in writing.

[ 02 / WHEN IT'S REQUIRED ]

When a report is the answer

A permit application asks about trees

Windsor-Essex municipalities commonly require an arborist report or tree preservation plan when development affects trees on or near the site. If trees appear on your permit checklist, you need a report, and it's faster to get it right the first time.

An insurer wants proof

After a tree-on-house claim, adjusters ask whether the tree was a known hazard. A TRAQ assessment before storm season, or a post-failure report after, is the difference between a smooth claim and a fight.

A neighbour dispute is heating up

Overhanging limbs, a leaning tree, 'that thing is going to fall on my garage.' An independent report replaces opinions with documented condition and defensible recommendations.

You just want the truth about a tree

Not every assessment ends in a chainsaw. If the tree is sound, the report says so, and you stop worrying every windstorm. If it's not, you have the paper to act on.

Arborist questions

What is an arborist report?

A written assessment by a certified arborist documenting a tree's species, size, condition, and risk, with recommendations. Municipalities, insurers, and lawyers rely on them because they carry professional accountability an opinion doesn't.

How much does an arborist report cost?

In Windsor-Essex, single-tree reports typically run $300–$500 including the site visit, written report, and photos. Development inventories are quoted per project, usually $500–$1,500+. If you hire us for the recommended work, the report fee is credited.

Do I need an arborist report for a building permit?

Often yes, Windsor-Essex municipalities commonly require a tree inventory or preservation plan when development affects trees on or adjacent to a site. If your permit checklist mentions trees, you need one.

How long does an arborist report take?

Single-tree reports: 3–5 business days after the site visit. Development inventories: usually 1–2 weeks depending on tree count. Rush service is available for insurance and legal deadlines.
