Surveying sits at the intersection of arboriculture, planning, and environmental management, and is widely used across the UK for development projects, property transactions, and routine estate management.
Circumstances when you might need a tree survey:
- Planning a building extension or new development.
- Buying or selling a property with large trees.
- Managing an estate, school, or commercial site.
- Responding to insurance or compliance requirements.
- Concerned about tree safety or potential subsidence.
What does tree surgery surveying involve?
Tree surveying is a structured assessment of tree risk carried out by a qualified tree surgeon, it involves a visual inspection of all aspects of a tree, from root plate to crown tips.
This data is then formed into a structured report, with; Location Mapping, Species, Total tree height, Crown spread, Tree maturity and Surveyor identified comments, these are used to form Tree management recommendations, and a management timeframe for actionable points.
