tree survey in Northeast Georgia
A Tree Survey documents the location, size, and characteristics of trees on a property to support development, planning, and environmental compliance. SPG provides professional Tree Surveys throughout Northeast Georgia, helping property owners and design teams meet municipal requirements while planning responsibly. Our surveys deliver accurate, clearly documented tree data that integrates seamlessly into site and landscape plans.
What is a tree survey?
A Tree Survey identifies and maps existing trees on a property, often focusing on trees that meet specific size or ordinance thresholds. These surveys are commonly required by municipalities during site plan review and are used by civil engineers, landscape architects, and planners.
Tree Surveys help determine which trees can remain, which may need protection, and which may require mitigation or removal approvals.
When Do You Need a tree Survey?
You may need a Tree Survey if you are:
Submitting site plans for municipal review or permitting
Developing or redeveloping a property
Working in a jurisdiction with tree protection ordinances
Coordinating with landscape architects or environmental consultants
Planning grading, utilities, or building placement near existing trees
Tree Surveys are often required early to avoid design conflicts and delays.
