Every survey type catered for

A tree survey is a detailed examination and recording of trees within a particular area. It provides information on the species, condition, approximate age, size, and recommendations for management or protection.

If you're planning a development, local councils often require a tree survey to assess the impact of the development on existing trees. Tree surveys are also important for health and safety reasons, especially if trees are near properties or public areas.

BS5837 is a British Standard which guides the process for trees in relation to design, demolition, and construction. A BS5837 tree survey is conducted to inform development plans and ensure trees are adequately considered in the planning process.

The length of time depends on the number of trees and the size of the site. A small site with few trees might only take a couple of hours, while a large site or woodland could take several days.

Costs vary depending on the size of the site, the number of trees, and the specifics of the survey required. Contact Us for a Quote.

A TPO is an order made by a local planning authority to protect specific trees, groups of trees or woodlands. It makes it an offence to cut down, top, lop, uproot, wilfully damage or destroy a tree without the authority's permission.

Our arboricultural team are experts in interpreting Tree Preservation Orders, including advising on how you or your project may be affected by one. Contact us immediately if you are served with a TPO.

For trees in public spaces or near buildings, a regular safety assessment might be conducted every 1-3 years. For development purposes, a new survey might be needed if the existing one is outdated.

A tree survey collects data on trees (species, age, size, condition). A tree report analyzes this data and provides recommendations, often including whether trees should be retained, protected, or removed, and how to care for them.

If the tree isn't protected by a Tree Preservation Order or in a conservation area, and if it doesn't have any other legal protections, you might be able to. However, it's always best to check with your local council before undertaking any tree work.
