What we do

  • Tree risk assessment. Visual Tree Assessment with a signed report, a failure-propensity class for each tree and recommended works. Many Tuscan municipalities, including Pisa, require such a report before a protected tree can be felled.
  • Felling permits. In Pisa and five neighbouring municipalities, felling a mature tree (trunk girth of 80 cm or more) requires a certified notice (SCIA) backed by a report from a qualified professional. In areas under landscape protection a landscape permit is required first. We prepare and submit the application.
  • Farms and agriturismi. Crop protection, irrigation and fertilisation plans, regional rural development grants, business plans for banks, agronomic reports for farm buildings and agriturismo licences.
  • Valuations and expert reports. Land and farm valuations, damage assessments, expert support in disputes about trees and boundaries.

Renting a house with a garden?

In Pisa, Calci and four neighbouring municipalities, even a dead tree with a trunk girth of 80 cm or more needs a notice to the municipality before it comes down. Send us two photos and the address with the quote form and we will tell you and your landlord what is needed.

Fees

A tree assessment with a signed report costs from 500 to 600 € for the first tree. The paperwork for a felling permit costs from 800 to 1,500 €. Both figures are before VAT and the social security contribution, and a written quote always comes first.
