What Our Clients Say

How Much Does an Arborist Report Cost in Melbourne?
There isn’t one price that accurately applies to every arborist report.
A straightforward assessment involving a small number of trees can require a very different amount of work from a report involving multiple trees, development plans or more detailed arboricultural assessment.
Before quoting, TLC Trees needs to understand why you need the report and what needs to be assessed.
This helps us provide the appropriate service rather than charging for a report that does not match your actual requirements.
Why Choose TLC Trees for an Arborist Report?
Qualified Arborists
Your trees are assessed by experienced arboricultural professionals.
Report-Specific Assessment
We determine what type of assessment is required rather than treating every arborist report as the same service.
Clear Scope and Pricing
Once we understand the requirements, we can explain the scope of the work and provide appropriate pricing.
Complete Tree Services
If additional arboricultural work is required after the assessment, TLC Trees provides a broader range of professional tree services.
What Type of Arborist Report Do I Need?
This is often more important than asking how much an arborist report costs.
Different situations can require different levels of assessment and reporting. You may need arboricultural information because of:
- A planning or development application
- Proposed construction near trees
- Proposed tree removal
- Council requirements
- Concerns about a tree’s condition
- Tree management decisions
- An assessment requested by another professional
If you have received a request for an arborist report but are unsure exactly what is required, send the information to TLC Trees first.
Our professional arborists can review the requirements and help determine the appropriate report.
Process
What Is Included in an Arborist Report?
The contents of a report depend on the purpose of the assessment.
An arborist may need to inspect the relevant trees, record information about their condition and characteristics, consider the reason for the assessment and document professional findings or recommendations.
Where appropriate, the report may contain information about:
- Tree species
- Tree size
- Tree condition
- Structural observations
- Site conditions
- Proposed works
- Tree retention or removal
- Potential impacts on trees
- Arboricultural recommendations
The scope should reflect what is actually required rather than adding unnecessary information simply to make the report larger.
Arborist Reports for Planning and Development
Some arborist reports form part of a broader planning or development process.
If proposed construction could affect existing trees, a more specific assessment may be required to understand how the project interacts with those trees.
TLC Trees is expanding its specialist reporting services around development-related requirements, including Arboricultural Impact Assessments and tree-related planning matters.
If you have received correspondence requesting a particular type of report, send it through when enquiring so we can understand what has been requested.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an arborist report cost in Melbourne?
The cost depends on the type of report, number of trees and complexity of the assessment. TLC Trees can provide pricing once we understand what report you require.
Why don't all arborist reports cost the same?
Different reports require different levels of inspection, assessment and documentation. A straightforward tree assessment may have a very different scope from a report associated with a development or planning matter.
Can you tell me what type of arborist report I need?
If you have been asked to obtain a report but are unsure what type is required, send TLC Trees the information or correspondence you have received. We can review it and determine the appropriate assessment.
Does an arborist report include tree removal?
No. The report and physical tree work are separate services. If tree removal is subsequently appropriate, TLC Trees can discuss the required work with you.
Can TLC Trees assess multiple trees?
Yes. Let us know how many trees are involved when enquiring so the scope of the assessment can be determined.
