We put together comprehensive arborist reports for our clients.
Arborists reports are comprehensive documents prepared by a certified arborist that provide detailed information about the condition, health, and care recommendations for trees on a piece of property. These reports are often required for property development, insurance purposes, legal disputes, or when addressing neighbour disputes, ultimately providing an authoritative assessment to help property owners make informed decisions about their trees.
At WillowStone, we are your trusted resource for plant healthcare, landscape development, and landscape management in the Collingwood, Ontario area. We put together comprehensive and informative arborist reports for those who need them, and our certified arborist can provide the information you are looking for about the trees on your property.
Our arborist reports typically include the following elements:
- Health condition and assessment—We evaluate each tree’s overall health, including signs of disease, pest infestations, structural problems, or other issues that could affect its vitality and safety.
- Risk assessment—We analyze any potential risks the tree may pose to people, property, or other trees by identifying weak branches, decay, or other structural issues.
- Recommendations—We provide our professional suggestions for treatment or management of the tree, such as pruning, fertilization, pest control, or, if necessary, removal.
- Legal and compliance information—Information about local regulations and requirements related to tree care, removal, and preservation may be included.
- Supporting documentation—Photographs, diagrams, and in some cases, lab results from soil or tissue tests will be included to support our findings and recommendations.

For over 30 years, our skilled team at WillowStone has been providing property owners with accurate, thorough arborist reports, and we’d be honored to tell you more about this specific service.

What’s included in an arborist report?
A standard arborist report typically includes a health assessment for the trees on the property, identifying any pests, diseases, or structural issues impacting their health. Our report will also include a risk assessment, which outlines any potential hazards that the nearby trees could pose to people or property. Both of these assessments will usually be accompanied by photos, diagrams, or relevant site plans to support the arborist’s observations. Next, the report will offer the arborist’s recommendations and explain any legal or regulatory requirements that may impact the project in question, such as tree preservation bylaws.
What are the differences between a tree health assessment and an arborist report?
A tree health assessment is designed to review an individual tree, assessing its health and offering recommendations based on its unique characteristics. An arborist report is more comprehensive and focuses on multiple trees across the property, offering more detailed information about the overall health and condition of the entire site.
How long is an arborist report valid?
If no major site changes occur and the trees aren’t significantly damaged by disease, pests, or severe weather, an arborist report can remain valid for up to 24 months. However, if any significant changes impact the property, the property owner may need to schedule another arborist report before any construction can begin.
