Why choose us?
I hold a Level 2 Certificate in Arboriculture and a Level 4 Diploma in Arboriculture, ensuring all advice and reports are backed by recognised qualifications and professional knowledge.
In addition to visual and aerial inspections, I can carry out decay detection using specialised equipment to assess the internal condition of trees. This allows for a more accurate understanding of structural integrity, helping to identify hidden decay or weakness that might not be visible from the outside.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a tree survey for my planning application?
Yes, if your development could affect existing trees. Most councils require a BS5837 survey to accompany the application, outlining how trees will be protected or incorporated into the design.
How often should trees be inspected?
Tree inspections depend on species, age, condition and location. As a general rule, trees should be professionally inspected every 1–3 years or after severe weather.
Can you help if my tree has a TPO?
Absolutely. We’ll guide you through the application process, advise on what work is acceptable and liaise with the local authority on your behalf.
What happens if my tree is unsafe?
If a tree presents an immediate hazard, we offer prompt inspection services accompanied by a detailed report and clear recommendations for appropriate remedial measures to minimise risk and, where possible, preserve the tree.
