Regulations
Good to know before you ask
Many cities protect trees above a certain size, or of certain species, and require a report by an ISA Certified Arborist to remove them or to build within their root zone.
An arborist who does not sell the removal gives a neutral opinion. We do not prepare reports ourselves and do not show prices.
