A tree management plan is a customized, long-term plan that provides guidance concerning the responsible management of trees for a given property or location.

Based on an assessment by an ISA-certified arborist, a tree management plan may include recommendations for tree maintenance and fertilization, retention or removal, risk mitigation, tree planting, and even wildlife habitat retention.

Tree management plans are often required by municipalities 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.

Tree management plans can also be developed with the goal of FireSmarting a property, outlining an arborist’s recommendations for ensuring the safety of the property and surrounding structures. For more information about FireSmart in B.C., please visit the FireSmartBC website.

In short, tree management plans are highly customizable arboriculture plans tailored to the goals and needs of the client. They may provide yearly recommendations over a period of two to five years, or they may be customized to shorter or longer time frames, as necessary.

We will work closely with you to find the best solution for your goals, needs and budget. To get started on a tree management plan today, please fill out a quote request form or contact us.

Our tree management plans are created 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.

ISA certified refers to the certification programs given by the International Society of Arboriculture, a globally recognized organization dedicated to promoting the professional practice of arboriculture. The most well-known and widely recognized ISA certification is the “ISA Certified Arborist” designation.

If you’re planning on having professional tree work done, we recommend choosing a company with at least one arborist on staff with this designation. This is because to become an ISA-certified arborist an individual must meet specific requirements, go through rigorous training, and adhere to a code of ethics.

Our ISA-certified arborist, Paul, has held his certification for over 28 years. You can view Paul’s ISA credentials on treesaregood.org.

After we receive your quote request, we book you in for an initial inspection so our arborist can get a general idea of your property, goals and needs.

After the initial inspection, your evaluation is scheduled at our assessor’s next availability. Depending on the size of the property, the requirements of the assessment, and the time of the year, there may be a considerable wait time. You can expect to wait longer if you’ve reached out to us during the busier portions of our season – springtime and early fall.

Once the evaluation is complete, you’ll receive your tree management plan within the agreed-upon timeframe.

We recommend reaching out to us, or filling out a quote request form, at the start of the calendar year to ensure we can complete your evaluation and plan within your requested timeframe.

Anne C.

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.
