Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I get a report?
Most reports are delivered within 2-5 business days after the site inspection, depending on the scope and number of trees.
Do your reports meet council requirements?
Yes, our reports are prepared to support council permit applications and are written in accordance with council reporting guidelines, specifically Council Arborists Victoria (CAV) guidelines: https://www.councilarboriculturevictoria.com.au/resources. All reports include clear photos, tree details and analysis, and practical recommendations.
Can you help if council asks follow-up questions?
Yes. If council requests clarification or additional information on any of our recommendations, we're happy to assist. In most cases this is included at no extra cost as part of your original report.
Do I need a site inspection?
Most reports require a site inspection so we can assess the tree, surrounding conditions, and any relevant site constraints.
What information do you need to provide a quote?
Your property address, approximate number of trees, development plans, and any council letters or permit requirements help us confirm the scope quickly.
Do you work with builders and designers?
Yes, we prepare arborist reports for building and development works and can review plans to identify tree constraints early in the project.
Do you offer reduced pricing for repeat reports?
Yes, we offer reduced pricing for larger volumes or repeated report work. Reports based on the same collected site data can receive a 50% reduction.
Are prices fixed before you start?
Yes, we confirm the scope and provide a fixed price before starting so there are no surprises.
What areas do you service?
We service Melbourne and surrounding areas, with local knowledge of council requirements across different municipalities.
Can you review council conditions or requests?
