Why Tree Permitting & Compliance Matters
Most East Bay cities and counties require formal arborist documentation before removing, pruning, or building near protected trees. Failing to meet these regulations can result in costly delays or fines. Evergreen Tree Care simplifies the process by preparing the required reports, plans, and inspections that keep your project moving forward—while maintaining compliance with local ordinances.
Our Permitting & Compliance Services
Evergreen’s team guides clients through every stage of the permitting and compliance process, from pre-construction planning to final approval. Our detailed evaluations and reports meet city and county requirements throughout Contra Costa County and beyond.
Pre-Construction Evaluations
Before development begins, we assess existing trees to determine preservation value, protection requirements, and permit triggers. Our arborists identify protected species, define Tree Protection Zones (TPZs), and outline clear measures to minimize construction impacts.
Permit Documentation & Submittals
Evergreen prepares all necessary documentation for city and county review, including certified arborist reports, maps, and condition assessments. We coordinate directly with planning departments to ensure timely and accurate submissions.
Monitoring & Site Inspections
During construction, our arborists perform periodic site inspections to confirm that tree protection measures remain in place. We provide written updates, photos, and recommendations to keep your project compliant and your trees protected.
Post-Project Compliance Reporting
Once work is complete, Evergreen provides final documentation verifying that all tree-related permit conditions have been met. Our compliance reports satisfy municipal closeout requirements and provide a clear record for property owners and agencies.
