Preliminary tree assessments

The price depends on the report type, number of trees, site and scope of work. Tell us what you need and we’ll provide a fixed-price quote for the agreed scope, including any travel costs, before work starts. Any additional work is quoted and agreed before proceeding.

We can help you work it out. Choose “Not sure which report I need” in the quote form and tell us about your trees, plans or what council has requested. You don’t need to know the report name before enquiring.

Most reports are delivered within 2 to 5 business days after the site inspection, depending on the scope and number of trees. Tell us about any deadline when you enquire so we can discuss inspection availability and timing.

We prepare reports to address the relevant council reporting requirements for your application. Send us the council request or conditions, including any request for further information, so we can confirm the scope and next step. Council determines the application; a report does not guarantee approval. For more about reporting guidance, see Council Arborists Victoria resources.

Start with the full property address, a brief description of what you need and your preferred contact details. An approximate tree count helps, but “Not sure” is fine. We may ask for plans or council letters to confirm the scope.

Yes. We can clarify the findings and recommendations in your report. In most cases this is included at no extra cost. New assessments or work outside the original scope may cost extra; we’ll confirm the scope and price before that work begins.

Most reports need a site inspection so we can assess the trees and surrounding site. We’ll confirm what is needed for your report when we discuss the scope.

We prepare arborist reports across Melbourne and wider Victoria. Travel fees may apply outside Melbourne and are confirmed in your quote. Tell us the property address when you enquire.

Yes. We prepare arborist reports for building and development projects, including work near existing trees. We can review plans early to identify tree constraints before the design is finalised.

Reduced pricing may be available for repeat work or reports that can use the same collected site data. Tell us about the reports you need so we can confirm what can be reused and quote for the work involved.
