BS5837 Trees Surveys

A BS5837 Tree Survey assesses the condition and value of trees on a development site. It identifies tree species, sizes, and health, determining their potential impact on construction. This survey informs design decisions, tree preservation and compliance with regulations while enhancing ecological sustainability and landscape integration.

Quantified Tree Risk Assessment (QTRA)

A quantified tree risk assessment evaluates the potential hazards posed by trees by measuring factors such as structural integrity, species susceptibility, and environmental conditions. This systematic approach uses numerical data to prioritize risks, enabling informed decision-making for tree management and ensuring safety in urban and natural landscapes.

Pests and Diseases

In the UK, tree pests and diseases pose serious threats to local flora Common pests include the oak processionary moth and the Asian hornet, which can damage trees and disrupt ecosystems. Diseases such as ash dieback and honey fungus weaken trees, making early detection and management vital for preserving the health of lands.

As roots grow, they can infiltrate foundations, leading to cracks and instability This can also disrupt plumbing systems and create uneven ground. Proper management root barriers are essential to mitigate potential damage and maintain the integrity of structures.

​

Tree Preservation Orders

Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) are legal regulations that protect specific trees or woodlands from being cut down damaged, or uprooted without permission. They aim to conserve the natural environment and enhance local landscapes. TPOs are essential for maintaining biodiversity and the longevity of significant trees in urban areas.

Arboricultural Method Statement

An arboricultural method statement outlines the procedures for managing tree care and maintenance during construction projects. It includes risk assessments, tree protection measures, and specific tasks such as pruning or relocating trees. This ensures compliance with regulations while minimizing environmental impact and promoting the health and safety of the trees involved.

Woodland Management

Woodland management involves the careful planning and maintenance of forested areas to promote biodiversity, enhance ecosystem services, and ensure sustainable timber production An arboricultural consultant assesses tree health, species diversity, and land use, providing tailored strategies to manage woodlands effectively while balancing, economic, and social considerations.

Tree Inspection and Risk Assessment

Tree impact and risk assessments evaluate the potential effects of tree removal or maintenance on the environment surrounding structures. These assessments identify hazards, such as falling branches or root damage, and help inform decisions to ensure safety and sustainability while preserving natural resources and enhancing community aesthetics.

Other Services

Arboricultural consultants offer a range of services including tree assessments, health evaluations, and management plans. They provide expert advice on tree preservation, risk assessments, and landscape management.
