Tree safety, condition and management reports
From health and safety reports to disease diagnosis, we’ll help you stay on top of your trees’ condition and recommend arborists if you need them.

risk and Safety reports
Large trees, trees nearby to high use area, or trees showing signs of decay or disease should be inspected periodically to make sure they remain safe. We’ll check your trees for structural safety, disease management, hazard risk, and safe useful life expectancy. We are certified International Society of Arboriculture Tree Risk Assessment assessors and can give your tree a risk rating. Fees start at $300 for a ‘short’ Tree Condition and Safety Report’ or a ‘basic’ Tree Risk Assessment Report (ISA TRAQ). See below for more details.
Health & Impact assessments
If your trees have suffered root or general damage, we’ll do a detailed health and condition assessment. Sometimes poor tree health is due to soil, water, and other planting issues. We’ll help you work out which trees to rehabilitate, and which ones to replace. We produce reports that achieve compliance with Australian Standard 4970 - Protection of Trees on Development Sites.
Disease diagnosis
We help people identify tree diseases and decay issues. We sample the tree and leaves to identify problems such as Phytophora, fungal decay and soil problems. We can identify a range of fungal diseases that can be harmful to trees. We’ll send tree and fungus samples away for lab testing, then recommend a management programme to protect surrounding trees. We will recommend treatment for your tree and timing.
