GET THE SCOPE RIGHT
Ask for the right expertise and deliverable.
A site consultation, tree risk assessment and report for a permit or development application are different scopes. Describe the decision you need to make and any requirements given by the City. Confirm the professional’s qualifications and whether the proposed report meets the receiving authority’s requirements before commissioning it.
Our enquiry service does not provide a tree diagnosis, legal opinion or permit approval.

Is this website operated by certified arborists?
No. Guelph Tree Removal Pros is an independent referral website. We do not claim arborist certification or employ a tree-care crew. Verify the qualifications of the professional you choose.
Will a report guarantee a permit?
No. The City or other relevant authority makes its own decision. Confirm the report requirements before hiring and allow for requests for more information.
