What's the difference between an assessment and a consultation?

When you call, email, or submit a request, a board-certified arborist from our team will be in touch to assess the work to be done on your property. This assessment is free of charge and usually precedes a visit from our crew for pruning, planting, fertilization, or any combination of our tree care services.

A consultation may or may not lead to a visit from the Heritage Tree Care crew. An assessment will help you know if your trees and green spaces need maintenance or cleaning work.

A consultation is often done ahead of property planning or to follow local bylaws. You might need a consultation if you: 

  • Are told by the city that a tree needs to be removed 

  • Need advice on what trees will thrive on your property 

  • Need a report to satisfy municipal bylaws ahead of construction 

  • Want a plan on what to do to treat sick or injured trees 

  • Noticed a bug or infestation and want to know how to treat it
