Tree Pruning
Custom tree pruning tailored to species-specific needs, focusing on health improvement and risk reduction. Our method identifies dead, diseased, or defective branches while maintaining natural silhouettes. Adhering to A-300 Standards, we ensure proper wound compartmentalization and long-term tree vitality through systematic corkscrew techniques.
Arborist Reports
Comprehensive tree assessments covering municipal compliance, risk evaluation, and legal requirements. Services include ICBC insurance documentation, heritage tree analysis, and construction impact assessments. Reports integrate root damage evaluations and wildlife habitat suitability for land development permits and legal claims.
Risk Assessments
Professional tree risk evaluations identifying structural weaknesses and environmental threats. Our methodology follows ANSI standards to determine failure probabilities and mitigation strategies. Services support insurance claims, property development, and safety compliance for urban and rural settings across British Columbia.
Heritage Evaluations
Specialized assessments for historic trees requiring preservation. We analyze growth patterns, disease resistance, and environmental factors to create conservation plans. Our reports meet municipal by-law requirements and development permit conditions while maintaining ecological integrity.
