Safety & Condition surveys consider features of biomechanics, pests, diseases, environment and health to assess risks and make management recommendations.

With careful construction planning we can contribute to achieving successful project outcomes in which trees complement and enhance the built environment.

Occasionally trees near buildings can have a negative impact, it is important to understand this when considering the decision to buy a home or property.

We offer several methods of detailed tree inspection: detailed visual assessment using hand tools, Picus 3 sonic tomogrpaphy, IML Resi-drill microdrill resistography, aerial inspection and plan to add video capture by drone to our capabilities during 2019.

Trees may be conferred protection by a number of legal instruments including Tree Preservation Orders, Conservation Area Statuses and the Forestry Act (1967). Valuations may be carried out using The Helliwell System and / or CAVAT.

In cases where subsidence and structural damage can be linked to a tree’s growth, detailed investigations are needed to help property owners determine the correct course of action.

Our role in disputes involving trees is to gather evidence, describe and assess relevant tree-related processes and present preliminary legal information to clients or their appointed legal representatives.

We’ve invested a great deal in the latest investigative technologies, these include; Picus3 sonic tomograph which employs sound waves to visualise a ‘slice’ through the tree, Resistography and direct electronic data capture.
