Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to your arboricultural questions

Clear, transparent answers about our assessments, certifications, service areas, reporting process and fees — so you can engage with confidence.

  • Pricing varies based on property size, tree numbers, and report complexity. We provide transparent quotes with no hidden fees. Contact us for a specific quote for your project.
  • Quantified Tree Risk Assessment is an internationally recognised methodology that provides mathematically defensible risk ratings. It's essential for schools, hospitals, and organisations managing liability, as it provides evidence-based recommendations that stand up to legal scrutiny.
  • We provide Level 5 consulting services across Central Coast (our base), Sydney, Newcastle, and Blue Mountains regions, with comprehensive knowledge of each area's specific requirements.
  • No, we're specialist consultants, not contractors. We provide independent assessments and recommendations. This separation ensures complete objectivity and gives your reports maximum credibility with planning authorities.
  • Our Level 5 qualification and AS4970-2009 compliance mean our reports are accepted by all councils across our service areas including Central Coast Council, City of Sydney, Newcastle City Council, and Blue Mountains City Council.
  • We schedule site assessments within one week of engagement. Standard reports are delivered within 3-5 business days after assessment. Expedited service is available for urgent development applications.
  • Our Arboricultural Impact Assessment reports include tree location plans, individual assessments, health and significance ratings, root protection zone calculations per AS4970-2009, impact analysis, protection specifications, and retention recommendations. All formatted for immediate council submission.
  • Many councils specifically require Level 5 assessments for development applications and significant tree matters. This qualification ensures advanced assessment capabilities and report writing skills that meet planning authority standards. Using lower qualifications often results in rejection and delays.
