Expert report

Are you concerned about a tree’s safety? Do you need a formal assessment for a municipal removal permit? Arboquébec provides comprehensive arboricultural expertise, combining in-depth technical evaluations with clear, detailed professional reports.

We offer a comprehensive arboricultural expertise service, including an in-depth technical evaluation and a clear, detailed report.

What is a Tree Assessment?

A professional tree assessment is a meticulous examination conducted by a certified arborist to evaluate two distinct factors:

• Tree Health: Its biological vigor and life expectancy.
• Risk Level: Its structural integrity.

A green, leafy tree is not necessarily a low-risk tree.

Our Comprehensive Evaluation Process

Health Assessment

We begin by analyzing the tree’s history and environment (soil, climate, past interventions). We perform a detailed visual inspection of the canopy, annual growth rates, and signs of pest or fungal infections. Optional advanced testing: Soil analysis or foliar (leaf) analysis to detect nutritional deficiencies.

Structural & Risk Assessment

We evaluate the tree’s biomechanical stability to prevent accidents. This includes:

• Visual Analysis: Identifying defects, cracks, or fungi that could lead to branch or trunk failure.
• Advanced Diagnostics: If needed, we use Acoustic Tomography to detect internal decay or an AirSpade to inspect root systems non-destructively.
• Target Analysis: We assess what the tree could hit (homes, vehicles, power lines) and the potential severity of a failure.

The Arborist Report

Our reports are specifically tailored to meet municipal requirements. Each document includes:

• Findings: Observations, historical data, and technical test results.
• Conclusions: A clear diagnosis of health and risk level.
• Recommendations: Actionable solutions to preserve the tree or professional justification for its removal.
