Sydney Landscape Consultants

On a Development Application the tree work runs in a set order, and taking it out of order costs time. A preliminary tree assessment comes first, before the design is locked down, so the tree constraints on a site are known while there is still room to work around them. The Arboricultural Impact Assessment follows once the layout has settled. Where trees are being retained, tree location and protection plans and the tree protection measures set by the conditions of consent come next, and the tree compliance certifications are issued once the works have been carried out.

Sydney Landscape Consultants is qualified at AQF Level 5 three times over, as Consulting Arborists, Horticulturists and Landscape Designers, which means the arborist report, the horticultural advice and the landscape plan all come off the one desk and the submission process gets simpler for whoever is lodging it. We work with residents, architects, developers, councils and home builders across Sydney, Wollongong, the Blue Mountains, the North Coast and NSW wide.

Arboriculture Australia registers us as a Consulting Arborist at Tier 1, and our Tree Risk Assessment Qualification as an assessor runs from 2025 through to 2028. We are a Registered Horticulturist with the Australian Institute of Horticulture, an accredited member of the Institute of Australian Consulting Arboriculturists, a member of the International Society of Arboriculture, and members of the Australian Plant Society of New South Wales and the Landscape Design Institute. Professional indemnity cover runs to five million dollars and public liability to twenty million.

Beyond the development work, pre house purchase constraints assessments tell a buyer what the trees on a property are going to mean before they commit to it, pest and disease identification gets to the bottom of a tree that is failing when nobody is sure why, and GIS data capture suits a site carrying enough trees that they have to be held as data. We give expert witness evidence in the Land and Environment Court, at NCAT hearings and in the Supreme Court, and we prepare landscape plans and horticultural specifications, which a consent frequently calls for alongside the tree work. Ring or text 0432 965 678 with the property address and whatever the council has asked you for, and we will come back with a fee proposal and a time for the site visit.
