Tree Survey Sydney

Two weeks is our standard turnaround on a report, and where a deadline will not wait we can run it as priority or emergency work for an increased fee. Tree Survey is a consulting arboriculture practice covering the entire state of New South Wales from our head office in Sydney, with further offices in the Illawarra, the Blue Mountains, the Central Coast, Newcastle and Forster on the Mid North Coast.

Every consultant here holds a minimum of AQF Level 5, the Diploma of Arboriculture, and several hold AQF Level 8, the Graduate Certificate. We also carry the Tree Risk Assessment Qualification and the Quantified Tree Risk Assessment credential. Transport for NSW, RMS, Sydney Trains, Lend Lease, AECOM, Cardno, Downer and Diona have all engaged us, and that is the standard our reporting has to hold up to.

Our arboricultural impact assessment is the detailed and comprehensive report reflecting the potential impacts of a development on the trees within and adjacent to a site, and it is usually the first document a consent authority asks for. A tree protection plan generally follows it and sets out the protection mitigations for the trees proposed to be retained. Earlier in the pipeline, our preliminary tree assessments give you a comprehensive survey of the trees within a designated site or parcel of land, which is worth having before a design is locked in and a retained tree turns into an expensive argument.

Our tree risk assessment is a detailed analysis of the risk posed by a single tree or a group of trees on a specific site, and it suits schools, universities, holiday resorts, parks and other public spaces where the duty of care is highest. Our tree surveys give a comprehensive assessment of a specified tree population so you have base data on what is actually standing there, and our tree management plan takes that further to guide the future use, management and maintenance of the site. Our project arborist services cover the inspections, supervision, monitoring and certification of trees during a development project, which is the on site half of the work once construction starts.

The data side is where we differ from a straight reporting consultancy. Our GIS and spatial analysis captures and analyses spatial and geographic data, and our purpose built tree database stores, retrieves, displays, sorts and summarises everything relating to your tree assets, which turns a one off survey into a managed asset register you can keep using. We also provide expert witness services where specialised arboricultural knowledge is needed to settle a matter.
