Tree Appraisal and Valuation Services
At Green Drop Trees, we provide expert tree appraisal services to determine the monetary value of trees for a wide range of purposes, including insurance claims, legal disputes, development planning, and compensation assessments. Our appraisals are conducted in accordance with industry best practices, including the Guide for Plant Appraisal, by the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers (CTLA), ensuring accuracy, transparency, and credibility.
Tree appraisal is a specialized process that takes into account multiple factors such as species, size, condition, location, and functional and ecological benefits. Whether evaluating a single heritage tree or an entire stand impacted by development, we apply recognized methods such as the Trunk Formula Technique to arrive at defensible and clearly documented valuations.
Our appraisal services are often requested in the following scenarios:
- Development and construction projects: Determining the value of trees removed or damaged by site work
- Insurance and legal proceedings: Providing objective valuations for property damage or liability cases
- Municipal planning: Supporting tree replacement compensation or bylaw enforcement
- Private property disputes: Resolving boundary and damage claims involving high-value trees
Our deliverables include:
- Site inspection and photographic documentation
- Species-specific valuation using CTLA-compliant methodology
- GIS based tree location mapping (if applicable)
- Clear, defensible reporting suitable for legal, regulatory, or insurance submission
With our ISA Certified Arborists, Green Drop Trees delivers tree valuation reports that are trusted by municipalities, legal professionals, insurers, and private landowners. When trees matter—financially, legally, or ecologically—you can rely on our expertise to quantify their true value.
