A tree survey is a systematic review of all the trees on a property performed by one of the several certified arborists at ATP that is also a certified tree risk assessor.

ATP performs tree surveys for clients for many reasons, including:

• The client wants a documented cataloguing of all the trees on their property
• For legal purposes the client wishes to demonstrate that due diligence has been performed regarding the safety of a property’s trees
• A tree survey is required by a government department
• The client requires a clear plan for long-term management of a property’s trees

The following information is provided for every tree in a tree survey:

• Tree ID number - trees can be physically tagged at the client’s request
• Species - in Latin and Chinese
• Height
• Diameter at breast height (DBH)
• Crown spread – estimated size of a tree’s crown
• Condition* – including current health and structural condition, fungal issues, etc
• Recommendations* - recommendations for mitigation of any potential hazards or further investigation using specialised equipment
• Photographic documentation of tree structure and – if applicable – defects*

Every tree survey also includes a PDF report of all the data and photos, with the option of additional hard copies as well.

*ATP also provides tree inventory services, typically required for environmental impact assessments. Tree inventories do not include services marked above with a star.
