Expert advice on your trees
Focused consulting services from a qualified arborist — clear findings, the reasoning behind them, and recommendations you can act on.
TC-01
Tree Consultations
Your feature tree has dropped a limb, a neighbour’s tree looks unsafe, or you’re just not sure what a tree needs. A consultation gets a qualified arborist on site to assess the tree properly and explain what — if anything — needs to happen next.
When you need it
- A limb has failed or the tree has changed (lean, cracking, dieback)
- You’re worried about a tree near the house, driveway or play area
- You want to know whether a tree can be kept
- You want a second opinion before going ahead with work
What you get
- Health and structural assessment of the tree
- Clear explanation of risk and practical options
- Whether the tree is regulated or significant, and what approval may be needed
- Pruning or management recommendations — verbal, or written up as a report
TC-02
Tree Reports
Many trees in South Australia are legally protected, so approval may be needed before pruning or removal — and councils often need a formal arborist report to assess an application. Treecycling prepares thorough, evidence-based reports that give council, insurers and builders exactly what they need.
When you need it
- Removing or majorly pruning a regulated or significant tree
- Building, extending or installing a pool near trees
- Tree protection zones for a development (AS 4970-2025)
- Insurance claims, storm damage and property sales
What you get
- Site inspection and tree measurements
- Health, structure and risk assessment
- Regulatory status and relevant planning context
- Tree protection zones and encroachment advice where development is involved
- Clear, numbered recommendations in a professional PDF report
See exactly what a report looks like in our sample report, or check whether your tree is protected in the SA tree rules guide.

Tree Audits & Management Plans
For properties with more than a handful of trees, a one-off assessment isn’t enough. A tree audit maps and records every tree on the site, assesses its condition and risk, and turns the findings into a prioritised management plan — so you know what needs doing, when, and why. Every tree is recorded in ArborFlow, the tree assessment software Jordan built for his own consulting work, so the inventory stays consistent and easy to update at each re-audit.
When you need it
- Schools, churches, retirement villages and community sites
- Strata, body corporate and managed properties
- Rural and large residential properties with many trees
- Businesses managing tree risk across a site or portfolio
What you get
- A mapped tree inventory — every tree located, numbered and photographed
- Species, measurements, health and structure for each tree
- Risk ratings and prioritised recommendations
- A management plan with works timeframes and re-inspection intervals
- A register that can be updated at each re-audit, rather than starting again
Powered by ArborFlow
Audits are recorded in ArborFlow — tree assessment and reporting software built by Jordan for Australian consulting arborists — so every tree is captured the same way, every time.

Habitat Creation Advice
Urban trees are often short on the hollows and shelter that hundreds of native species depend on. Habitat advice looks at how a tree — even one that can’t stay whole — can keep providing nesting, roosting and foraging sites while keeping your property safe.
When you need it
- A hollow-bearing or declining tree you’d like to keep in some form
- You want to support local wildlife on your land
- Balancing habitat value against safety near targets
What you get
- Assessment of the tree’s existing habitat value
- Retention options, including habitat stags and reduced-height retention
- Recommendations for creating or enhancing hollows and nesting sites
- Advice that balances wildlife value with safety
