The service
Is this the right service?
A tree removal report assesses the tree’s condition and whether removal is justified. It gives council supporting evidence, including the reasons for the recommendation and alternatives such as retention or management.

When it can help
- Council needs a report for your removal application.
- You want a protected tree assessed before deciding what to do.
- You need evidence about decline, damage or another reason for removal.

The assessment
How it works
Confirm the brief
We review your concern and council request, then agree which trees to assess, the report scope and fixed price.
Inspect and assess
We record tree condition, dimensions, photographs and site use, then consider the case for removal and reasonable alternatives.
Explain the recommendation
Your PDF sets out the findings, recommendation and any uncertainty or further investigation needed.
