Arborist Report

Help Support Arborist Forum:
For what? Diagnosis with no followup. Tree risk Assessment with written report. Appraisals, etc.... all different depending on scope of project. I estimate in my mind how much time it will take and quote a price based on that.

I plan to charge consultations for on-site inspection, just verbal for $150 (no report included)
Risk Assessment with written reports for $550
And Regular Arborist reports for $300
Does this pricing sounds reasonable, you think? Or am I charging too much..

I think it sounds reasonable...as long as the local market agrees!
What is a "regular Arborist report"? That could be lots of things...

Regular Arborist report for me is just for private tree removal applications. With Spring just around the corner, we are getting a number of requests for this.
I wanted to make use of ofr my certification not just to sit around and deal with paperwork in the office with stubborn employees. LOL!

that's a reasonable price!
Ok...so in your location, people need report before they are allowed to remove a tree?

Yes, if its over 30 cm DBH permit is required.

Yeah, I've heard in Toronto, for a private tree, if its more than 30 CM DBH you have to get a permit, Even if its your own tree, within your property and you planted it.
Almost similar here in BC

OK...I see.
Will you charge $300 to do the report, if it says the removal isn't justified (by whatever measure they use)? I'd probably charge the $150 non-report visit fee to look over the tree. If I couldn't justify the removal by the standards, I'd offer to leave it at that. If I needed to write a follow-up report, charge the extra $150. Of course, this would be discussed over the phone before scheduling the visit.
