Tree Surveys

Essential Insight for Safe, Compliant, and Responsible Development

At Texas Tree Surgeons, we understand that healthy trees enhance the value and safety of your property. But when it comes to construction or land development, understanding which trees you have – and what condition they’re in – is more than helpful; it’s required. That’s where professional tree surveys come in.

Whether you’re planning a residential build, a commercial project, or just putting in a pool, a tree survey ensures you’re protecting valuable trees, complying with local regulations, and minimizing risk – before the first shovel hits the ground.

What Is a Tree Survey?

A tree survey is a comprehensive environmental assessment that documents the condition, location, species, and potential impact of trees on a property – especially in areas slated for development.

Conducted by ISA-certified arborists, our surveys go beyond visual checks to identify species and size that might fall under protection by a local Tree Mitigation Ordinance, we serve as the liaison between the developer and the local municipality to ensure your tree survey is accurate the first time saving you time and money during the development process.

Tree Survey vs. Tree Inventory: What’s the Difference?

While both surveys and inventories involve collecting data on trees, their purposes and uses are distinct:

FeatureTree SurveyTree Inventory
Primary PurposeDevelopment planning & complianceTree health management & long-term care
TimingBefore construction or major remodelOngoing property or urban forest planning
ScopeMeet local regulatory standards and streamline the development processBroader overview of all trees on a property
DeliverablesTree counts by species, DBH, and health condition, and meets local code requirementsMaintenance plans, health trends, species diversity insights
Who Needs ItDevelopers, builders, architects, surveyors, municipalitiesCities, HOAs, schools, campuses

When Do You Need a Tree Survey?

You should schedule a tree survey if you’re:

  • Developing land that has trees that will be impacted in any way by the development
  • Planning construction or renovation that will impact established trees
  • Buying or selling property with significant tree growth
  • Applying for demo or building permits in cities that regulate tree removal
  • Concerned about protected species or landmark trees

Tree surveys are often required by city ordinances in Texas before development or demolition can proceed. They help you avoid legal and financial setbacks by identifying trees that need protection, replacement, or mitigation.

How Texas Tree Surgeons Can Help

In almost every North Texas city, removing a tree without a proper survey or permit can result in fines and development delays. Our arborists help you navigate local ordinances and provide the documentation you need to keep your project moving forward.

Lynn H
Couldn't be happier with our experience with Texas Tree Surgeons! They came out for a free estimate; assessed the health of an older tree we were worried about; told us exactly what needed to be done, without adding unnecessary extras; advised us on the best time of year to trim our particular trees; and made it extremely easy to schedule the work to be done when it was convenient for us. Then, on the day of service, they were on time, thorough, fast, professional, and did a great job. The crew made sure we were happy with the work before they left, and we were. This was a far superior experience to when I have had trees trimmed in the past from a different company at a different residence. Highly recommend!
Christine Fields
They are my FAVORITE arborists to trim our ginormous maple trees. It felt like a lot of money, but after the work was done - so quickly and well - it was worth every single penny.
Jeff G.
Excellent experience! Kay provided a quote after reviewing the broken tree limb. Within an hour three workers showed up, did a fast job cutting the limb and cleaned up the area before leaving. Was able to complete the job from beginning to end within an hour.

Sarah Scholl Bowie
I had a strong referral to Texas Tree Surgeons from a friend I very much respect, and she wasn't wrong! In the last couple of years I've had several consultations and trimmings with them, and this year they cut down several medium sized trees and one very large one that wasn't healthy and was overdue for removal. I can't say enough about their professionalism and helpfulness. Arborist Emily was especially great to deal with!

Bitcoin is valuable and no one will give you for free. Bitcoin doesn't mine overnight although many people claim that, but it's not possible, otherwise they wouldn't be placing ads on Facebook for people to come mine with them so the best you can do for yourself is to invest with an accepted and financially secured bitcoin investment company that would grant you success & get your future secured.

Carol Bell-Walton
I cannot imagine a better tree service. We've had Texas Tree Surgeons trim our trees for years. Last year we used them for cabling two live oaks, including one we are trying to save from 2021 winter storm damage. Despite the winds we've experienced this year and last, the trees have shown remarkable stability. Today's job was removing three large dead limbs over our neighbors' properties and they beautifully shaped our overgrown Nellie R. Stevens hollies. They were on time, reasonable, and as attentive on a small job as a large one.
Taylor Eavenson
Spoke with Amy this morning regarding two new redbud trees I recently planted. It’s very obvious that Amy takes pride in what she loves. Not only was she super helpful, she was very professional and caring. Amy-TTS, thank you very much! If I’m ever asked about trees, I will certainly send your way!!!!
