FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Want more info? Here are some of our most asked questions.

We have two different pricing options for arborist tree assessments: quick note assessments and arborist report assessments.

The cost of a quick note assessment is based on the size of your property and the number of trees involved. Depending on these factors, the fee for a quick note assessment may be waived. The fee may also be waived if you choose to book Garibaldi Tree for any recommended tree work.

The cost of an arborist report assessment is also based on the size of your property and the number of trees involved. However, there is an additional cost for the written documentation. We inform you of the specific costs ahead of time and do not proceed without your approval.

If you’re unsure as to which option is best suited to your needs and budget, please contact us. You can get in touch via email at info@garibalditree.ca, text (or call) us at (604) 905-8115, or fill out a quote request form. We’re open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.

An arborist tree assessment includes:

If you choose an arborist report assessment, you will also receive a written report with recommendations and strategies.

If you don’t know the types of plants or trees on your property or if you don’t have the time to figure it out, arborist tree assessments are a great option for you. They’re designed for property owners with minimal landscaping or tree care experience.

We’ll give you expert advice tailored to your goals and needs, so your trees and plants can thrive. We’ll also let you know of any issues, such as defects, health concerns, or pests and diseases. And, we’ll provide you with a course of action for mitigating those problems.

You won’t have to spend hours researching how-to’s or different tree care companies, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing your trees have been properly inspected by a certified arborist.

Please note that this type of assessment should not be relied upon as a tree risk assessment, which considers a greater analysis of a property and its trees. If you’re looking for a more thorough assessment of your tree’s health, a tree risk assessment may be a better option.

If you’re a property manager, developer or strata owner looking for a long-term plan or multiple assessments, a tree management plan may be a better option.

If you need help figuring out which route is best for you, reach out to us. We’re here to help.
We offer three different types of arborist consults or assessments: arborist tree assessments, tree risk assessments and tree management plans.

A tree management plan is a long-term plan based on ongoing evaluations outlining recommendations for tree risk mitigation, maintenance, retention or removal. 

Tree management plans are generally required for developers looking to develop a piece of land that has trees within the building envelope and/or that will be affected by the building process. These plans may also benefit property managers, strata owners and homeowners who have trees on their property.

A tree risk assessment is used to identify, analyze and evaluate tree risk. We assess a variety of factors including soil conditions, wind exposure, the overall health of the tree, and more. You then receive a report describing the results of the assessment, along with recommendations for risk mitigation and a timeframe for re-evaluation. 

An arborist tree assessment is a one-time evaluation of a property’s trees and vegetation, resulting in a list of custom recommendations and strategies. Arborist tree assessments are geared toward those who have minimal landscaping or tree care experience. They’re also a great option for folks who simply want a professional’s opinion on how to care for their trees and plants.

Our arborist consults are conducted by Paul, the owner of Garibaldi Tree, and an ISA-certified arborist who holds the ISA’s Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ). You can view Paul’s ISA credentials on treesaregood.org.

Paul has been performing tree assessments for over 28 years and is trusted by the locals of Whistler and Pemberton to provide accurate, knowledgeable evaluations.

If you can provide us with access to your property and have given us details about your goals and needs, you do not have to be at home/on-site during the assessment. However, we do find that clients often prefer to be present for this process to share input with our arborist in real-time.

If you know you will not be on-site for the assessment, please provide us with the following details beforehand, either on your quote request form or via email.

If you are not on-site for the assessment, we will send you an email afterwards letting you know we visited your property. If further dialogue is needed, you will receive a follow-up call.

Depending on the size of your property, the onsite assessment can take anywhere from 15 minutes to a full day.

For quick note assessments, recommendations will be sent roughly one to three business days after the on-site evaluation.

For arborist report assessments, recommendations and strategies will be sent electronically or delivered as a hardcopy within an agreed upon timeframe.

After receiving your recommendations, we will be available to answer any questions that you may have. Then, if you choose to work further with Garibaldi Tree, we will be available for any of the tree risk mitigation, maintenance, or removal services recommended.

My company, Terracraft Landscape Ltd., has been using Garibaldi Tree & Landscape Ltd. for over a decade to complete all our tricky tree falling. Paul and his crew have always been polite, professional and prompt.

The service I received was first-rate. The equipment and crew arrived as promised. The work was done efficiently and professionally. The cleanup was perfect. Everyone was courteous and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Anne C.

Local Homeowner

Paul was running the show on our property in Whistler. They did a great job removing 7 trees and grinding 3 of the stumps. They also did it in record time, bringing in a stump grinder, chipper and a very large crane. Great company, can’t say enough.

Robert B.

Local Homeowner

Whole process was very professional, efficient and the work done was excellent. Your crew were such hard workers, very knowledgeable, conscious of safety, very organized, and fast workers! We were particularly impressed with how the head faller always consulted or double checked with owners to ensure that the landscape was what owners requested. As well, the place was left intact as all debris chopped up, chipped and stacked as per owners request leaving a very clean site! Thank you so much for the excellent job done and would definitely use your services again.
