Tree Safety & Condition Surveys

The long term safe retention of trees in urban & rural environments is central to our work as Arboricultural Consultants. The UK is blessed with more ancient & veteran trees than any other country in europe but the gap between our great old trees & the next generation is great. Only by conserving the younger generation of trees can we ensure continuity of habitats & ecosystems sustainably.

• Risk assessment – quantifying and assessing the hazards that trees present is essential under the Occupiers Liability Act 1957 which puts tree owners under a duty of care to anyone who may be affected by any part of the tree.
• Health, vigor and environmental significance surveys – responsible management and care of trees is guided by an understanding of the trees current condition. At Arborista we seek to encourage the sustainable retention of trees for visual amenity and there environmental significance.

Because of their great age & habitat value veteran trees are culturally & ecologically significant. They present tree owners & managers with a complex set of problems not least of which are the safety of the trees themselves, their ecosystems & people. We provide specialist survey & management services for the safe long term retention of veteran trees that are an intrinsic part of our heritage.
