Aborists Reports

Tree Safety Inspections & Expert Arborist Reports

The Treeman arborists love working in and around trees. Some trees present challenges and may need an inspection to report on their safety when there are concerns for the welfare of people and property. Our qualified arborists can provide an assessment and a written report where required. We work with many Schools and ECE to address any areas of concern and the risks associated with these concerns.

Additionally, we can provide an annual snapshot of the health of any trees to proactively identify any historical changes and offer advice on a long-term management plan.

When Should You Get Your Tree’s Trimmed?

When Should You Get Your Tree’s Trimmed?

Moldy curtains and slippery paths are an indication of plenty of shade. Take a good look around and if you have a tree that is blocking valuable winter sunlight from getting through, then a good selective tree pruning could make all the difference to the outside and inside of your property. In Auckland, thinning trees and lifting the canopy can have an impact on mold growth. Fruit trees are a huge asset to have for any homeowner, and for schools and businesses alike. They do require some special care and knowledge, as the correct pruning will make a considerable difference on the size and abundance of your fruit. It is important to know if your tree produces fruit from last season’s growth, as removing too much of this will mean less fruit for next season.

Protected Trees

We have trees in our environment that are offered special protection. There could be a number of reasons for this protection, including:

  • Cultural significanc
  • Historical importance
  • Ecological value
  • Exceptional qualities
  • Unique or significant example of a tree in the area
  • Extreme value or age
  • Proximity to water
  • Proximity to coastal cliffs
  • Proximity to wetlands
  • Condition of resource content
  • Protected by covenant
  • It is in a significant ecological area
  • Council trees

 

If you would like work done on a protected tree that involves major limbs, removal of 20% or more of growth, or changes the tree’s shape in any way, you may need recourse content. This will usually require an arborist’s report. https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/building-and-consents/working-on-around-trees/Pages/working-on-around-protected-trees.aspx

What’s the process for obtaining an arborist’s report?

After making initial contact with our team, we obtain any relevant history and arrange a site visit to take photos and measurements where required.

Our senior arborists are very knowledgeable and have the qualifications to provide a thorough visual assessment. By understanding the particular behaviour of that tree species and checking for any signs of decline or poor health, we can report on the condition, structural integrity, and stability of the tree.

If the request is for pruning, we can advise on the tree’s ability to recover and any advantages a strategic prune may have on the tree or the environment around the tree.

If the report is for a request for removal of a protected tree, the report will consider the overall health, age, life expectancy, and impact the tree has in the space and the potential impact of its removal.

The report may make recommendations on specific methodologies for best practice tree pruning or removal, where appropriate, or suggested remedial actions in the case of a request for a tree to be removed.

What if the tree looks like it's dying?

Our arborists can provide an assessment on any protected tree that may be in decline and offer recommendations to improve the tree’s health, or, where a tree is in severe and irreversible decline, a report may recommend the tree be removed for health and safety reasons.

What if I want the tree removed because I want to build a shed there?
You will need a report to submit to the council if you want to remove any protected trees. This will outline the reason for the request and the value of the tree in the area. Trees that are protected are usually protected for very good sound reasons, and unless there are mitigating circumstances, this protection will prevent their removal.

I recently had “The Treeman” team remove 4 large trees and raise the canopy on a Totara. I found them to be pleasant, well mannered and very professional. They cleaned up the yard when they had finished and put back garden ornaments etc, they even mulched an old pile of tree cuttings that were laying in my yard. Nothing was too much effort. I will not hesitate in referring them to others in the future.
– Lyn, from Tuakau
