How we help

Two ways to work with us.

Some clients need a report a reviewer will accept. Others need a dead or dangerous tree gone. Many need both, in that order. Each starts with the same thing: an arborist looking at the tree and the site.

Consulting & documentation

Arborist reports, inventories & protection plans

Field observations turned into clear, organized documentation for permits, construction, property planning, and tree-removal decisions.

  • Tree condition assessments and written arborist reports
  • Tree inventories with disposition (retain, protect, relocate, remove)
  • Tree Protection Zone and Critical Root Zone plans
  • Construction-impact review and root or hardscape conflicts

Tree removal

When a tree is dead, declining, storm-damaged, or in unavoidable conflict with a structure or project, we remove it, with the assessment and any permit documentation handled first.

  • Removal of dead, hazardous, and conflicting trees
  • Arborist documentation prepared for the permit application
  • Removal scheduled after owner authorization and permit issuance
  • Objective recommendation first; removal only when it is warranted

Our approach

Every assignment begins with the site, the tree, and the decision that needs to be made.

Trees affect safety, construction, permitting, utilities, and the long-term value of a property. We turn field observations into information you can act on, and when the right action is removal, we do that too.

Field report

What an assessment actually records.

Each tree in a report is measured and described the same way, so a homeowner, a contractor, and a permit reviewer are all looking at the same facts.

What an arborist assessment recordsA line drawing of a tree with its canopy dripline, critical root zone, protection fence, trunk measurement point at 4.5 feet, and height marked. Canopy spread measured at the dripline Tree protection fence set at the TPZ limit Critical Root Zone radius from trunk size DBH 4.5 ft above grade trunk diameter at breast height Approximate height Overhead utility proximity noted T-01 Tree number,species, condition
T-01
IdentificationTree number, common and scientific name, and location keyed to the site plan.
DBH
Trunk sizeCircumference taken 4.5 ft above grade and converted to diameter at breast height.
CRZ
Critical Root ZoneThe root area most sensitive to cutting and compaction, sized from the trunk.
TPZ
Protection limitWhere fencing goes and what may not happen inside it during construction.
H / S
Height and spreadApproximate height and canopy spread, plus clearances to structures and overhead lines.

Process

Five steps from first call to finished work.

Scope is confirmed in writing before fieldwork begins, so you know what will be inspected, what will be delivered, and what happens next.

  1. Share the project

    Send the property location, your goal, the deadline, and any survey, plan, permit comment, or photographs.

  2. Confirm the scope

    We identify the trees, deliverables, site-access needs, and limits before work begins.

  3. Inspect and document

    Field observations, measurements, site conditions, and photographs are collected.

  4. Receive deliverables

    The report or plan organizes findings, recommendations, limitations, and next steps.

  5. Carry out the work

    If removal is recommended and authorized, we schedule it once any required permit is issued.

FAQ

Common questions.

All questions

Short explanations of the terms and limits that come up most often.

What should I send before the site visit?

Send the property address, a short explanation of the issue, the relevant deadline, and any available survey, site plan, permit comments, or photographs. Sensitive documents should be shared through a secure method we agree on together.

Do you remove trees, or only write reports?

Both. Arborist Tree Care Solutions provides arborist assessments and documentation, and also performs tree removal. When a tree is dead, declining, storm-damaged, or in unavoidable conflict with a structure, utility, or project, we can assess it, prepare any documentation a permit requires, and carry out the removal.

Removal of a protected tree is scheduled only after the property owner authorizes it and any permit required by the local jurisdiction has been issued.

What is DBH?

DBH means diameter at breast height. It is a standardized trunk-diameter measurement generally taken 4.5 feet above grade, with adjustments for unusual trunk forms or site conditions.

Start with the property and the decision in front of you.

Call or email to discuss the site, the trees involved, and whether you need documentation, removal, or both.
