Tree Consultation & Reports

Practicing vs. Consulting Arborists

Here at Cutting Edge Tree Management, we are primarily Practicing Arborists. We carry out the hands-on work — pruning, removal, stump grinding — and provide expert advice and recommendations along the way.

While we happily provide guidance and risk assessments, we don't typically write formal tree reports. If you need a written report for Council, development planning or legal purposes, you'll need to engage a Consulting Arborist.

We're happy to advise you on the right path forward. Just give us a call and we'll point you in the right direction.
