Professional Tree Surveys
Our skilled and experienced team adheres to the exacting standards set out in British Standard BS5837, ensuring that our approach is not only professional but also in line with industry best practices. Here’s an overview of what a typical tree survey covers:

Tree Species and Location
The first step in any comprehensive tree survey is to catalogue the various tree species on the site and their specific locations. This information provides a foundational understanding of the existing tree population, enabling you to assess their individual significance and contribution to the landscape.
Measurements
Our tree surveyors take precise measurements of each tree, including critical details such as height and diameter. These measurements offer a quantitative perspective on the physical aspects of the trees, which is invaluable for decision-making during the development process.
Tree Age, Health, and Life Expectancy
Understanding the age, health, and life expectancy of each tree is a pivotal aspect of our tree survey. This data aids in determining the long-term viability of trees within the development site, helping you decide whether they should be retained, removed, or require specific care.
Recommendations
Based on our meticulous survey data and in compliance with British Standard BS5837, we provide clear and actionable recommendations. These recommendations encompass the critical decision of whether a tree should be retained, removed, or necessitates specific work, such as pruning or other forms of care.

Other Types Of Tree Surveys

Our commitment to excellence and compliance with industry standards extends to these specialised tree surveys, ensuring that you receive accurate, reliable, and actionable insights for your specific requirements.
Whether it’s evaluating the condition of trees, assessing the impact of trees on subsidence related issues, or navigating legal aspects like Tree Preservation Orders, our team of experienced arboricultural consultants is here to provide the expertise you need.

Tree Condition Survey for Safety
Concerned about the health of trees under your care?
We understand that the well-being and safety of trees are of paramount importance, especially when you’re responsible for their care. Our dedicated tree condition surveys are specifically designed to address these concerns, focusing on the health and safety of the trees under your stewardship.
Our tree condition surveys focus on safety and management. Our surveyors meticulously examine each tree, identifying defects and diseases. The resulting tree report outlines necessary work to mitigate risks effectively.
Subsidence Management Tree Survey
In cases of subsidence, our tree surveys and reports determine the responsible trees and offer solutions to reduce future risks.
If you’re in the process of buying or selling a property, a pre-purchase tree survey is essential. It assesses subsidence risk and potential tree failures, providing recommendations to reduce risks to an acceptable level.
Tree Preservation Orders
Understanding Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) is crucial.
These orders, granted by Local Authorities under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 aim to protect trees from unwarranted removal or improper pruning, ensuring the preservation of their amenity value and ecological contribution.
We can help you navigate the regulations and obtain or oppose TPOs. Protect trees from improper pruning or removal, preserving amenity value.
