What Is An Arborist Report?
An arborist report is a written document, prepared by a qualified arborist, which provides specific details about 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 this report to include recommendations on managing these 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.
Is An Arborist Report Required?
Many municipalities have implemented by-laws that regulate the injury and/or removal of trees on private property. In most cases, an arborist report is required by the municipality to obtain a permit to injure or remove a protected tree. There are specific details that must be included in removal applications to satisfy the requirements of the by-law. It is important to retain the services of a qualified arborist who is familiar with the specific requirements of each municipality to minimize the application processing time.
