What Is a Site Plan Review?

Trees evaluated as part of a landscape site plan review

A Tree and Landscape Site Plan Review is a professional analysis of development or construction plans to evaluate how they affect existing trees, proposed plantings, and surrounding natural features. This review is often required by municipalities, counties, or planning departments as part of the permitting or approval process for both residential and commercial projects.

Why You Need Site Plan Review Services:

Assessing tree structure and canopy condition
  • Ensure compliance with municipal tree protection ordinances
  • Verify landscape plans meet local code requirements
  • Prevent unnecessary tree damage or removals during development
  • Identify potential conflicts with utilities, buildings, or access roads
  • Evaluate: Is it the right tree for the right location? — avoid long-term issues from poor species selection or placement
  • Improve site design with expert input on tree preservation and plant selection
  • Avoid costly delays due to non-compliant submissions

Why “Right Tree, Right Location” Matters

Choosing the right tree for the right location isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a critical part of responsible and sustainable landscape planning.

Arborist Consulting Solutions, LLC helps you evaluate whether selected tree species are appropriate for the proposed planting areas, factoring in:

  • Mature size and root spread
  • Proximity to buildings, sidewalks, and utilities
  • Sunlight, drainage, and soil conditions
  • Local climate and pest resistance
  • Potential for future conflicts or maintenance issues

Unfortunately, most architects or site plan creators focus on short-term appearance or basic code compliance, and often overlook the long-term health, growth behavior, and infrastructure impact of the trees they include on plans. This can lead to costly problems—like cracked sidewalks, blocked visibility, storm damage, or early tree removal.

Ron’s expert guidance ensures your plans include trees that thrive in their environment—supporting long-term success, reduced liability, and sustainable, low-maintenance landscapes.
