What Is An Arborist Report?
An arborist opinion in Sydney is a detailed professional and independent Arboricultural assessment, compiled by a qualified arborist, of one or more trees.
A tree assessment will typically provide an objective assessment detailing condition, structure, and overall health of the subject trees. An arborist assessment will outline the retention value, root structure and will determine if the trees are expected to remain viable, before, during and after a proposed development.
Moreover, having the right
arborist opinion will ensure you comply with local laws and legislation and provide you with a level of protection.
If you are building a new home, residential or commercial development in areas where trees are located, there is a good chance you will need a report for council.
A tree report produced by certified arborist is a legal document detailing the findings of a comprehensive assessment and stating the evidence found by the experts.
A tree record can be used for a whole range of purposes such as: determining how a species has died and determining if a tree is a dangerous or safe.
Our timber specialists can prepare a certified arborist report to suit your requirements.
We also provide professional services to and have experience with, golf courses, schools, property developers and even local councils.

An arborist has studied and understood a range of methodologies and techniques around tree management. For example: planting, fertilising, pruning and styling trees, along with the removal of shrubs and plants. Additionally, arborists have the knowledge skills around environmental health and management, hence why they are more commonly referred to as a tree doctor or tree surgeon.

What Is A Tree Report For?
Most local government areas (LGAs) are in the business of preserving long standing good quality native shrubs and rightly so. Our natural environment and local biodiversity is super important to the health of our environmental eco systems and human health.
Our team can help identify Tree Protection Zones (TPZ) for farmland and development sites, conduct Risk Assessments, protect Heritage Trees, assist with project management such as relocations, specialised species sourcing and management, provide advice on tree surgery and pruning, provide advice around bracing and branch supports, environmental management and planning, biodiversity, tree logic, assessments and reports.
What Is A Level 5 Arborist Report?
Overseen by the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF), a level 5 arborist is the highest qualification an that can achieve within the industry. That means the tree doctor has all the relevant acquired knowledge, skills, experience and appropriate licences. Level 5 arborists can make sound assessments and are very experienced in the development of forest reports.
Our staff have over 15 years of working arborist experience along with the assessment and development of tree reports. It’s important to note, when choosing a company to undertake your
arborist report for development applications, ensure they have the right qualifications and have been a working arborist, not just a consulting arborist. Our Level 5 arborist reports are some of the most comprehensive
tree reports
in Melbourne.
The Difference between an Arborist Tree Loppers?
The Arboriculture industry is continuously on the Australia’s list of job shortages, as there is continuous work and opportunity to be had. With that in mind, like any industry there are always individuals within the industry that can leave you with a bad experience, so its important to choose the right person.
Typically, the most significant difference between a ‘Tree Lopper’ and an arborist is the expertise, skill and qualification to perform the task, ensuring a quality result. Generally, the tree lopper does not possess the right qualifications (if any) to remove or prune safely. A tell-tale sign might be a very low quote, or they may not be able to answer questions around protected trees and the various species.
Apart from not having the experience and the correct industry standard qualifications, cheaper, unqualified service providers may pose other risks. For example: a lack of knowledge surrounding the LGAs regulations may result in a breach of a local law, thus opening you up to prosecution. Moreover, if you’re using an unqualified service provider, they may not have the relevant liability insurance. Hence, if they lack the skills and experience and drop a sapling on your house, good luck with your insurance company.
