Tree Survey Inspections

An assessment of Tree Cover within Larger Properties, Estates, Communal Gardens, Golf Courses, Cemeteries, Tree Collections etc. ascertaining tree condition for on site safety, aesthetically enhancement and the continuity of healthy Tree Cover. (These inspections, & subsequent re-inspections, will ‘adequately discharge’ the Clients ‘duty of care’ towards the health & safety of the general public under the Occupiers Liability Act 1957 & 1984 and Health & Safety at Work Act (Section 3) 1974.)

Surveys detail recommendations for maintenance works required with regard to the urgency required to implement works & the frequency works may need to be redressed. Tree Surveys can also incorporate inspection and maintenance requirements for hedges and other vegetation control.
The schedules of tree works recommended can be tailored to spread maintenance works over a given period i.e. 5/7/9 years to allow funding to allotted to specific areas of work.

Tree Surveys can incorporate the potential ‘risk’ of ‘indirect’ or ‘direct’ tree root activity influencing structural damage problems to building. Giving recommendations for ongoing maintenance regimes to off-set, or obviate’ possible tree root influenced problems arising, or continuing.

Tree Surveys are ‘packaged’ in relation to the information required and the degree of after service required.
