An arborist report is a detailed assessment of a tree's health, condition, structure, and overall safety, prepared by a qualified arborist. The report provides professional recommendations on tree management, including whether a tree should be retained, pruned, treated, monitored, or removed.

There are many situations where an arborist report may be required. Local councils often request one as part of a development application or before approving the removal of protected trees. An arborist report can also be invaluable if you're buying or selling a property, concerned about the health or stability of a tree, dealing with storm damage, or managing trees that may pose a risk to people or property.

A professional arborist report helps you make informed decisions based on expert advice rather than guesswork. It can identify diseases, structural defects, pest issues, or other factors that may affect a tree's long-term health and safety, while also helping you meet council or insurance requirements where applicable.
