Independent Arboriculture Consulting
Clear. Defensible. Municipality-Ready.
TreeMetrics provides independent arboriculture consulting services supporting development review, municipal decision-making, and tree risk management throughout the Lower Mainland.
Our work focuses on clear, defensible recommendations that align with municipal bylaws, professional standards, and real-world project constraints.
Arboriculture Consulting Services
TreeMetrics supports projects at every stage — from early planning through construction and post-approval compliance.
Arborist Reports for Development
Professional arborist reports prepared for development permits, rezoning, subdivision, and building permit applications. Reports are written for municipal acceptance, with clear impact analysis, retention feasibility, and defensible conclusions.
Tree Risk & Hazard Assessments (TRAQ)
Independent tree risk assessments completed using the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) framework. Suitable for municipal review, insurance documentation, strata risk management, and liability planning.
Tree Protection & Construction Monitoring
Tree protection planning and on-site monitoring services to support permit conditions and bylaw compliance during construction. Services include Tree Protection Plans, fencing verification, site inspections, and compliance documentation.
Municipal Consulting
Independent arboriculture consulting services for municipal governments, including development review support, tree risk assessments, bylaw compliance assistance, and third-party technical review.
Independent and Objective Consulting
TreeMetrics provides independent arboriculture consulting services and does not undertake tree removal or pruning work.
TreeMetrics operates solely as a consulting practice.
We do not provide tree removal or pruning services.
This ensures:
- Objective professional judgment
- Unbiased recommendations
- Increased credibility with municipalities and reviewers
- Reduced conflict of interest
Our role is to support informed decision-making — not implementation services.
In certain situations, TreeMetrics also provides independent peer review and second-opinion arboriculture consulting to support municipal decision-making and complex development applications.
