Arboriculture
Henry Kortekaas & Associates Inc. has in-house, professional, I.S.A. Certified Arborists and I.S.A. Tree Risk Assessors that can produce professional arboricultural plans and reports required for approval of removal of trees on private or public properties. Services can be provided on their own or integrated with Landscape Architectural work. We work year-round on consulting Arborist services.
Arborist Consulting Services Provided:
Tree and Woodlot Inventories, Preservation, and Removal Plans
As consulting Arborists, we can work together with your other professional consultants or on our own to create coordinated Tree Preservation Plans for permit applications or planning approvals. These plans document the species, size, form, and health of a tree, and are required by Municipalities for compliance with tree protection by-laws.
Tree Risk Assesments
Our I.S.A. Tree Risk Assessors can work one-on-one to provide tree owners and risk managers with the information needed to make informed decisions to enhance tree benefits, health, and longevity. The client is provided with a Level 1 or 2 Tree Risk Assessment and accompanying report with detailed instructions on short-term and long-term care required for their specific tree.
Tree and Woodlot Valuation Calculations and Arborist Reports
We can provide a spreadsheet to accompany a Tree Preservation Plan that values existing trees based on established professional I.S.A. practices that take size, species, health, and potential into account. These are frequently required for development approvals and site plan applications in Southern Ontario, or to assist with expropriation property valuations.
