The City of Atlanta may require you to submit a Tree Prescription. We can do that. In fact, Onebark can prepare any kind of treatment plan for your trees.
A prescription is a document and treatment plan required by municipalities, such as the City of Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, and Decatur. A tree prescription usually is part of a land disturbance or building permit where protected trees are impacted. Each municipality has different requirements for tree prescription documentation. Our prescription will always fit the unique requirements of each site.
In the City of Atlanta, the following information must be included in the tree prescription:
- Arboricultural Prescription Form - this is a standardized form published by the Office of Buildings - Arborist Division. We provide this completed form as part of our work product.
- Arboricultural Prescription Budget - usually required, we prepare a treatment protocol to help minimize the effects of construction impact. Onebark executes the treatments for the project. However if you are already working with a treatment provider, we can write the specifications necesary to obtain a budget from your provider.
- A receipt showing the Prescription Budget has been prepaid in full.
The City of Brookhaven also requires prescription budgets as part of land development. These are submitted during plan review and are required to be prepaid in full prior issuance of the building bpermit.
The City of Decatur requires tree prescriptions in cases of significant tree impact. Like Brookhaven and Atlanta, a prepaid receipt for the treatment budget is often required. Decatur may also require a survey of trees and their condition rating, in cases where a land disturbance permit is required.
