Tree Condition Assessments
Our Tree Condition Assessment service provides clear, expert guidance on tree health, structural integrity, and potential associated risks.
Whether you’re responsible for a single tree or a large estate, understanding the condition of your trees is crucial for managing acceptable levels of safety, compliance with legal requirements, and making informed decisions on tree retention and removal.
Where we can help
-
Minimising Public and Site Safety
Identify and address potential hazards, such as deadwood, decay, or instability, especially near buildings, paths, roads, and/or public areas. -
Meet Legal & Insurance Obligations
As a landowner or manager, there is a legal duty of care to manage trees. Our tree condition assessment reports help demonstrate reasonable, proactive tree management to reduce and maintain trees at a low risk.
-
Avoid Costly Damage or Liability
Early identification of structural defects or disease in trees can prevent property damage and reduce the risk of injury and potential claims. -
Support Planning, Management & Development
Tree condition assessments form the foundation of effective tree care, tree management plans, and valuable arboricultural input into design or redevelopment.
