Tree Condition Assessments
We are proud to offer a variety of Tree Condition Assessments. Each adopt a sensible risk versus benefit approach and come with professional reports that include a tidy sketch plan of the site and recommendations.
Active Tree Assessment
This is the most economic means of assessing trees. All trees in a given area are visually assessed, only those with significant risk features or recommended works are recorded within the report. We use the VALID methodology for assessing and recording tree risk. This option is most appropriate for clients that have large tree populations with a particular focus on safety.
Tree Inventory
The most comprehensive means of recording tree assessment. All the trees in a given area are formally inspected and recorded within the report. It is particularly useful on sites with multiple stakeholders in the trees such as multiple occupancy properties or managed property. It is also very useful for sites where a greater emphasis on long term tree care is required.
