Why Hire an Expert for an Arboricultural Report?
An arboricultural assessment report is an official and legal document required in several crucial situations in Quebec. Our team of experts is here to assist you with:
- * Obtaining a city tree removal permit: Most municipalities require a report signed by a qualified arborist before issuing a removal permit.
- * Protecting your trees during construction or home expansion projects: Essential for locating root zones and complying with urban planning bylaws during site work.
- * Assessing dangerous trees in urban areas: Accurately evaluating the risks of falling or structural failure to ensure the safety of your property and infrastructure.

Turnkey Process
Step 1
We target your specific needs (city permit, architectural project, health analysis) to prepare the site visit.
Step 2
Our arborist travels to your property in Montreal, Laval, or the Rive-Nord to visually inspect the tree, measure its trunk diameter (DBH), and analyze its immediate environment.
Step 3
We conduct a thorough phytosanitary inspection: checking for diseases (such as the emerald ash borer), fungal growth, wood decay, or structural cracks.
Step 4
We cross-reference field-collected data with environmental requirements and the specific urban planning regulations of your municipality.
Step 5
Delivery of a complete, official PDF report containing the tree’s location, detailed photos, clear findings, and professional recommendations (pruning, cabling, or removal), fully validated by the expert’s official signature.

Frequently Asked Questions
This official document serves as technical and legal proof. It objectively demonstrates a tree’s health, value, or hazard level to municipalities (for permit applications), insurance companies, or courts in case of disputes.
It is not required for routine tree maintenance. However, it becomes essential and systematically required by cities in the following cases:
- Requesting a permit to remove a protected or large-diameter tree.
- Construction, excavation, or expansion projects (tree protection plan).
- Official requests from your insurer or legal disputes between neighbors.
The report includes tree identification (species, dimensions), location mapping, a comprehensive structural and health diagnosis (diseases, defects), supporting photographs, and signed action recommendations from our professional.
This report must be prepared by a professional arborist holding recognized degrees and technical skills in urban arboriculture in Quebec, such as a member in good standing with the SIAQ.
