What Is a Consulting Arborist?
A Consulting Arborist assesses trees and provides independent, documented advice. The work is assessment and reporting rather than tree work, so the recommendations are not tied to selling pruning or removal.
Councils, certifiers and courts generally rely on reports prepared by a Consulting Arborist with a minimum AQF Level 5 qualification. Our team ranges from AQF Level 5 to Level 9.
What Our Consulting Arborists Provide
Our consultants regularly assist with:
- Arborist reports for development, including Arboricultural Impact Assessments
- Tree Risk Assessments for homes, schools, parks and commercial sites
- Tree Removal Reports and pruning advice for council applications
- Tree Protection Plans and Project Arborist supervision
- Resistograph testing and root investigation
- On-site consultations for advice without a full report
