At Arbutus, we prepare professional arborist reports to offer unbiased, expert opinions on tree health and safety for homeowners, buyers, developers and property managers.
These reports are required for development proposals and prove invaluable for insurance claims, legal adjudication, municipal inspections, and obtaining tree permits.
Specifying tree retention, protection and mitigation efforts to support legal and permitting compliance for development.
Evaluating potential hazards to prevent property damage or injury.
Recommendations and implementation strategies to mitigate identified risks.
Estimating the monetary value of your trees for insurance or compensation purposes.
Determining the feasibility of relocating a tree to a new location.
Providing detailed cost analysis for tree replacement, repair, or stump and root removal.
TRU™ Radar Technology revolutionizes how we understand trees’ internal and root structures without invasive methods.
With the ability to scan near-surface depths down to 13ft (4m), TRU™ Radar provides invaluable data.
Trunk Scanning
Comprehensive trunk scans and virtual saw cuts, providing 360° high-resolution imaging and analysis.
Root Scanning
Leveraging root zone scans in 2D or 3D with TRU™ Radar to visualize trenching, locate large roots, or identify high root density areas, crucial for accurate tree valuation and assessing relocation feasibility.
Arborist reports are a critical component in the development permit application process, especially in compliance with Municipal tree protection regulations.
Understanding the value and condition of your trees not only aids in legal and insurance matters but also contributes to the sustainable management of urban forests.
