A Laser Measure, a Clipboard, and a Written Report in 24 Hours

Before any work is quoted, a Canopy ISA-certified arborist walks your property with a laser range-finder and documents every at-risk limb, root intrusion, and structural defect. You receive a typed, signed report — not a verbal estimate — with photos, GPS coordinates, and a risk classification for each finding.

What's Documented

Species identification and canopy health rating (1–5 scale)
Hazard zone map with GPS-tagged photos of each defect
Root system proximity to foundations, utilities, and hardscape
Recommended action with priority classification (Urgent / Routine / Monitor)
Arborist signature and ISA credential number on every page
Digital copy delivered within 24 hours, hard copy available on request
Included in Your Written Report

Filed Before the First Foothold. Documented Before the First Cut.

Every Canopy removal job triggers a permit application the same day the contract is signed. We handle the municipal filing, the utility notification, and the arborist certification form — and we send you the permit number and a current certificate of liability insurance before any crew member sets foot on your property.

What's Documented

Municipal tree removal permit — filed same-day, number provided to client
Utility company notification (underground and overhead clearance)
Certificate of Liability Insurance: $2M per occurrence, $4M aggregate
Workers' Compensation Certificate — every crew member covered
HOA and commercial property manager documentation package on request
Digital permit file retained for seven years — available to your insurer

Rigged, Roped, and Photographed From First Clip to Last Log.

Canopy climbers use ISA-standard rigging and lowering techniques — no drop zones, no chainsaw-and-hope. Every significant cut is time-stamped in a photo log that becomes part of your job file. The log documents each section removed, the rigging configuration, and the ground crew's clearing pattern.

What's Documented

Time-stamped photo log: pre-work, during rigging, post-section removal
ISA-standard rigging with rated slings and lowering devices — no free drops
Aerial lift or climbing harness rated for the load — documented in job file
Crew lead sign-off on each major section before proceeding
Adjacent property protection documented (tarps, barriers, spotter positions)
Full job file retained and available if your liability carrier requests it
Included in Your Written Report

Zero Debris Policy. Post-Job Inspection Report. Done.

When the last log is chipped or hauled, the crew lead walks the entire work zone with the client — or their designated property manager — and signs off on a post-job inspection checklist. Stump grinding, surface root treatment, and lawn restoration are documented in the same file. If anything is missed, we return within 48 hours at no charge.

What's Documented

Zero-debris guarantee: all chips, logs, and brush removed same day
Stump grinding to 8–12 inches below grade — depth measured and noted
Surface root treatment documented with before/after photos
Lawn and hardscape restoration checklist — client sign-off required
Post-job inspection report added to permanent job file
48-hour return guarantee — any missed item corrected at no additional cost

What Happens After the First Cut

Every quote below came from a job that started with a documented assessment and ended with a photo log.

"A limb the size of my living room was hanging over my roof after the ice storm. Canopy had a written hazard assessment in my hands within four hours. The permit was filed by morning. I've never felt so relieved handing over a clipboard."

Margaret Okonkwo

Homeowner, Austin TX

"Our liability carrier required a certified arborist inspection before renewal. Canopy produced a 14-page documented report with GPS coordinates, photos, and risk ratings for every tree on the property. Renewal approved same week."

DS

Derek Sanchez

Property Manager, Meridian Commercial

"Three bids, one certified. The other two couldn't tell me whether they'd pull a permit. Canopy had the permit number before they started. The cleanup was so thorough I had to check whether they'd actually been there."
