WHEN DO YOU NEED A TOPOGRAPHIC/TREE LOCATION
- Planning a building project and need to know which trees to keep and which to remove
- To comply with local ordinances or HOA covenants about the number of trees on your land, and/or whether any can/should be removed
- Some real estate transactions / lenders may require a Tree Survey
- To clarify with a neighbor as to who owns a tree near your property boundary
- To have an inventory of the trees on your land and their density, for forestry preservation, runoff management, or in compliance with local rules and regulations.
