What Is An Arborist Report?
An arborist report is a written document, prepared by a qualified arborist, that provides specific details about a tree or trees on a property. These details can include: species, diameter, height, condition, location, areas of concern, diseases, and abiotic disorders. It is also common for an arborist report to include recommendations on managing a tree or trees such as pruning, removal, disease treatment and/or monitoring. The objective and scope of preparing the report will help determine which details are relevant.
