Arborist Reports

---

Are you building a home, renovating, adding a pool or solar in the state of California? You likely will need a County Compliant Arborist Report or Letter! Call us today to start the process.

Why is an arborist report really necessary?

California cares for its trees, so many rules and regulations have been put into place to help protect our beautiful natural environment. Because of this, many counties require a technical arborist report before breaking ground on remodels, pools, grading plans, solar, and homes. Our reports include many elements that you will need for the county if an oak tree or other protected species is going to be removed. Since the state of California requires an arborist report for oak tree removals, our services can come into play to make sure you are compliant with the county. 

We know that your personal projects already require much of your attention and time so we are here to help you navigate this part of the process! We can even help you make slight alterations to your building plans to avoid damaging trees you would like to keep, either for aesthetics or to avoid mitigation fees.

What will this arborist report include?

The final arborist report will serve a two-fold purpose; informative to you as the client and to the county. You should expect our report to cover a summary of your property that we have determined from a site visit. This summary will break down important information for the county to view to be able to issue your permit promptly. You will also find a summary of our site observations and our project specific recommendations on how to care for any trees that may be at risk or potential impact due to any construction. The recommendations we will include will outline the best course of action for either you or your contractor in order to care for the trees during the duration of your project. If trees will need to be removed we can refer you to a company in the area so that your project can move along quickly!

We may also include an aerial view of the property to show tree locations and how they interact with proposed plans if needed. Site photos that reference our observations will also be included to best show the county what trees will be affected on your property.

What will an arborist report cost?

The total cost of the arborist report will depend on what exactly you intend to do with your property. This could be affected by the amount of trees you have, the health of those trees, and how big of a project you are planning just to name a few. The total cost to you could also depend on the location of your property and if mitigation will be required. Since many elements will come into play, we will work with you to get an idea of what exactly is needed for your specific project. By reviewing the full scope of the project together we can tailor the report exactly to your needs! .
