Why You Need an Arborist Report in Los Altos
The City of Los Altos takes tree preservation seriously. Before removing or impacting protected trees, property owners must submit a formal arborist report prepared by a Certified Arborist. This report is used by the Planning or Community Development Department to determine whether the tree can be removed or if protective measures are required during development.
If you're planning any of the following, you’ll likely need an arborist report:
-
Removing a mature or protected tree
-
Constructing near existing trees (new foundations, grading, retaining walls, etc.)
-
Developing a vacant lot or subdividing land
-
Assessing the health or risk of an existing tree
Our team specializes in these exact scenarios and understands what city officials are looking for in a report submission.
