What’s Checked During a Tree Safety Inspection
During a professional tree safety inspection, our arborists assess the following key areas:
Trunk condition: cracks, cavities, peeling bark, fungal growth, and pest activity
Root and base stability: oot flare visibility, damage, or girdling roots that may restrict nutrient flow
Branch structure: dead, damaged, or poorly spaced branches that pose safety risks
Foliage condition: leaf size, colour, density, and signs of disease or infestation
Overall tree health: stress indicators such as poor growth, wilting, or environmental impacts
When a Tree Safety Inspection Is Needed
Tree safety inspections are needed when there are concerns about stability, storm damage, falling branches, termite or decay signs, or council/insurance requirements. They can be done any time of year, but they’re often easier to assess in cooler months when foliage is lighter and structural issues are easier to spot.
Best Time to Carry Out a Tree Safety Inspection
Tree safety inspections are often easier to carry out during cooler months such as late autumn or winter, when foliage is lighter and structural issues are more visible. While South East Queensland does not experience extreme seasonal changes, trees still follow natural growth cycles that can affect visibility. Inspections can still be carried out at any time of year, particularly where safety concerns or recent changes to the tree are present.
Safety Is Central to Every Inspection
Tree safety inspections are carried out to identify risks before they cause harm. Trees that are damaged, weakened, or structurally compromised can pose a serious risk to people, vehicles, and property if not properly assessed. Our experienced arborists place safety first during every inspection, using appropriate equipment and securing the surrounding area to protect people, vehicles, and nearby structures while the inspection is carried out.
The Importance of Tree Reports
A professional tree report helps identify safety risks, structural issues, and tree health concerns that could affect people, property, or nearby public areas. Tree reports are commonly required for council approvals, construction planning, property sales, or when concerns are raised by neighbours or authorities.
How an Arborist Tree Report Benefits Property Owners
Peace of mind
A professional tree inspection removes uncertainty about the condition and safety of your trees. Potential issues are identified early, helping prevent unexpected problems.
Meeting legal and council requirements
Property owners can be held responsible if a tree causes damage to people or neighbouring property. Many councils also require an arborist report before approving major pruning or tree removal. A documented report shows you’ve taken responsible steps.
Reducing risk to people and property
Tree reports identify structural weaknesses, disease, or environmental factors that may increase the risk of branch or tree failure, especially near buildings, vehicles, or public areas.
Protecting property value
Healthy, well-maintained trees improve the appearance and usability of a property. Addressing issues early can help avoid damage and protect your property’s overall value.
These benefits apply to property owners throughout Brisbane Southside and the Gold Coast where tree safety, council requirements, and public access are key considerations.

FAQs About Tree Inspections
What does a tree inspection include?
A professional tree inspection involves assessing the tree’s structure, overall health, and any visible issues that could affect safety. This includes checking the trunk, roots, branches, and surrounding conditions that may contribute to stress, disease, or instability.
When is a tree report required by council?
In many cases, councils require a professional arborist tree report before approving significant pruning, tree removal, or works near protected trees. Requirements vary by location, so our arborists can advise on what’s needed for properties in Brisbane Southside and the Gold Coast.
How often should a tree safety inspection be conducted?
If there is an immediate concern, a tree inspection can be arranged at any time. For trees showing no obvious issues, an inspection is generally recommended every three years. Inspections should also be carried out after severe weather events such as strong winds, heavy rain, or prolonged dry conditions.
