What Is a Tree Survey?
A tree survey is a detailed inspection carried out by a qualified tree surveyor to assess the condition, health and structural integrity of trees. During the survey, we identify defects, signs of disease, decay, structural weaknesses and potential hazards that may pose a risk to people, property or surrounding infrastructure.
Every survey is carried out using industry best practices and provides practical recommendations for ongoing management, maintenance or, where necessary, tree removal.
Why Are Tree Surveys Important?
Trees are valuable assets, but without regular inspections they can become hazardous due to disease, storm damage, decay or structural defects.
A professional tree survey can help to:
-
Identify dangerous or declining trees before they become a risk.
-
Detect diseases such as ash dieback and other health issues.
-
Recommend appropriate maintenance to prolong a tree's life.
-
Reduce the risk of damage to property, vehicles and public areas.
-
Assist with planning applications and development projects.
-
Demonstrate that trees are being managed responsibly.
Regular inspections are particularly important for trees located near buildings, roads, footpaths, schools and public spaces.
Who Needs a Tree Survey?
Tree surveys are suitable for a wide range of clients, including:
Homeowners
If you have large or mature trees on your property, a survey can identify potential safety issues before they become serious problems.
Landowners & Estates
Managing large numbers of trees requires regular inspections to maintain safety, protect woodland health and reduce liability.
Commercial Property Owners
Businesses have a duty to manage trees on their land. Regular surveys help identify risks and demonstrate responsible management.
Developers
Tree surveys are often required before construction work begins to assess existing trees and inform planning decisions.
Schools, Local Authorities & Public Spaces
Routine inspections help ensure trees remain safe for staff, visitors and members of the public.
