Let’s clear up your land clearing questions
-
The cost of your arborist report will vary, depending on the job. We’ll provide a clear quote that considers the number of trees, the complexity of the assessment, and the type of report required. Our upfront quotes have no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect.
-
A lot of the time, yes, you’ll need to get an arborist report before you can remove a tree. Most Melbourne councils require an arborist report as part of a permit application to remove a protected or significant tree. As part of our consultation, MTS can confirm whether your tree is protected/significant and let you know if you’ll need an arborist report. Our reports provide the formal evidence you need to support your application.
-
While no one can guarantee a council’s final decision, our reports are prepared by qualified AQF Level 5 arborists to meet all council guidelines and requirements. We provide the professional, unbiased information that maximises your chances of a successful application.
