Certified Arborist Inspections and Reporting in Volusia County
Florida Foliage provides Certified Arborist Inspections and Reporting for commercial, municipal, and residential clients throughout Volusia County. Our team works with property owners, developers, and government agencies to evaluate tree health, document risk, and support permit-related decisions.
Whether you need a tree inspected before construction begins or a full report for municipal compliance, our certified team delivers timely, professional documentation that meets local and state requirements.
Why Arborist Inspections Matter
Tree inspections are essential for both safety and planning. Certified arborist inspections and reporting can identify signs of disease, decay, poor structure, or environmental stress before a tree becomes a hazard. In commercial and regulated environments, having a formal inspection or risk assessment on file protects property owners from liability and ensures decisions are backed by expert recommendations.
Our arborist services help with:
- Tree health assessments
- Risk and safety evaluations
- Permit-required inspections
- Insurance documentation
- Construction or pre-development surveys
- Post-storm or emergency evaluations
- Tree code compliance for Volusia County municipalities
We provide clear, certified arborist inspections and reporting that is easy to understand and accepted by permitting authorities across Central Florida.

Tree Risk Assessments and Safety Planning
Tree risk assessments help identify potential hazards before they lead to damage, injury, or fines. Our arborists look for:
- Leaning or cracked trunks
- Dead or damaged limbs
- Hollowing or internal decay
- Root instability or soil erosion
- Tree crowding or structural stress
- Damage from pests, lightning, or storms
We offer risk ratings and prioritized action plans so you can address the most urgent issues first. For commercial clients, this is especially helpful for budgeting and ongoing maintenance.
Pre-Construction and Development Tree Surveys
Before you begin construction, it is often required or strongly recommended to have certified arborist inspections and reporting services to survey the trees on your site. We assess which trees are healthy enough to preserve, which ones pose risks, and which may qualify for removal under city code.
Our certified arborist inspections and reporting provide reports that support:
- Zoning and land use decisions
- Site planning and design
- Contractor bidding and budgeting
- Permit submissions for tree removal or trimming
We can also work with your project team to coordinate timing, identify protected species, and avoid delays in permitting or inspection.

We will:
