How the plan is built

Safety removals first, in Year 1
One zone pruned each year
The most visible zone usually goes first
After Year 3 the cycle repeats, so spending stays steady
Years 2 and 3 are estimates, updated before the work

PlanReviewed yearly

Optional work, such as plant health care for soil and roots, is listed separately so the board can decide on it apart from the core plan. The board can move or split years.

After the plan

Tender it, or have us do it.

Each year of the plan can become a spec you send to any tree company, through the consulting retainer. Or ask Koala Tree to quote it: pruning, removals, crane work, stump grinding and plant health care, with an 8-person crew and our own equipment.

FAQ

Inventory questions

Who is the inventory for?

Condo corporations, property managers and other multi-residential sites that want to know what they have and plan spending ahead.

Does the board have to follow the plan exactly?

No. The board can move or split years. The plan sets out what is needed and when it should happen.

How often is the inventory updated?

We recommend a yearly assessment and inventory update so the plan stays current.

How much does an inventory cost?

Every property is different, so inventories are quoted per property: multiple payment options, credit card available, quotes valid 30 days.

Request a tree inventory. Send the property, the rough number of trees and when the board sets its budget. Call 226-224-5877 or email info@koalatree.ca.
