What Canopy Solutions, LLC Can Do for Black Diamond Clients
- • Evaluate your property and tree inventory to determine whether removal qualifies for permit or an exemption under city code.
- • Prepare and submit either a full Tree Removal Permit or Exemption Application, depending on the circumstances.
- • If required, plan and implement replacement or mitigation: help select appropriate native species and ensure correct sizing.
- • Advise on strategies to stay within exemption limits (e.g. managing tree density) — useful for small residential lots.
- • Coordinate with arborists to assess tree health or risk for trees that may qualify for exemption.
