There's a growing demand in Alberta for new school builds and upgrades to aging educational facilities, and with that comes a need for detailed arborist reports as part of the development approval process. At City Tree Service, we specialize in providing professional tree inventories and arborist services tailored to meet the specifications of Alberta Infrastructure. We are also recognized as vegetation specialists, with deep expertise in managing and documenting site vegetation for regulatory compliance.

Trusted by Engineering Firms Across Alberta

We've provided arborist reports for a variety of school redevelopment projects and have worked with firms such as Englobe Corp. Our team understands what's needed to keep projects on track and compliant from the bid stage through to permit approval.

What's Included in Our Tree Inventories

Our reports meet the requirements typically outlined in Alberta Infrastructure documents.

We:

Document all existing trees within 10 metres of the project site, including adjacent boulevards.
Include a photo record and assign unique ID numbers to each tree.
Identify all trees, shrubs, and vegetation, including overhanging growth from neighbouring lots.
Record species, caliper, height, canopy size, and quantity.
Present the information clearly in a report format, ready for submission to the relevant authority.
Provide quick turnaround (typically within 4 weeks of project confirmation).

Support from Bid to Delivery

Many firms first require pricing from arborists during their bidding process. We're used to working under tight timelines to submit competitive pricing and mobilize quickly once contracts are awarded.

Whether your project is in the planning, bidding, or pre-construction phase, we can provide:

Quick quote turnaround for RFPs or design packages
Fully compliant arborist reports for permitting
Efficient communication and digital delivery of all documentation

Our team includes multiple ISA Certified Arborists with advanced knowledge of species identification and plant health diagnostics, ensuring each report is accurate, reliable, and professionally prepared.
