Arborist Reports
Whether for a subdivision, utility installation such as a gas line, or the removal of a protected tree, councils frequently require an Arborist Report as part of a resource consent application or as a condition of consent. Talk to us about your project and we will recommend the most appropriate report for your needs.
An Arborist Report assesses the health, structure and condition of the tree, sets out the rationale for the proposed works, and details any mitigation measures to minimise adverse environmental effects.
Managing the Consent Process
With more than 25 years’ experience in the arboricultural industry and working with councils, we understand what councils expect. Tree protection rules have changed significantly over the years, and under council rules and Unitary Plan provisions many trees require resource consent to be removed or pruned. We confirm requirements with council before recommending any work in a protected area or a Significant Ecological Area (SEA), and where necessary liaise with council on your behalf.
Tree Inspection and Risk Assessment
Our inspection and risk assessment service identifies hazards that may not be apparent to the untrained eye, so that risks can be managed appropriately. This is particularly valuable where the public may be at risk, such as business parks, schools and early childhood centres.
Tree Monitoring and Technical Specifications
Councils may require a qualified arborist to be on site during earthworks near protected trees. We provide arborist supervision and monitoring, and can prepare technical specification documents setting out tree protection measures and work methodology, helping you meet your consent conditions.
Tree Care Advice
Perhaps you have a special tree you want to keep but are unsure whether it needs pruning or removal. We provide expert advice on tree care, maintenance and pruning, and large tree removal where required.
