About this service

Tree Surveys

What is a tree survey?

A tree survey is a structured assessment of trees to evaluate their condition, safety and management requirements. Depending on the purpose, a survey may include:

  • Identification of tree species
  • Assessment of structural condition and defects
  • Evaluation of potential risk to people or property
  • Recommendations for management, maintenance or further investigation

Types of tree survey we offer

Tree risk surveys

Tree risk surveys are used to identify potential hazards and assess the likelihood of failure. These are often required for residential properties, landowners with a duty of care, and schools, estates and public-facing sites. We assess each tree in context, considering its condition, location and potential targets, and provide practical recommendations to manage risk appropriately.

General tree condition surveys

These surveys provide an overview of tree health and structure, helping clients understand the current condition of their trees and plan future maintenance. They are particularly useful for property purchases, estate management and ongoing tree care planning.

A practical and proportionate approach

Our surveys are carried out with a focus on providing balanced, proportionate advice. We aim to avoid unnecessary work while ensuring that any genuine risks or issues are clearly identified. We consider:

  • The condition and species of each tree
  • The surrounding environment and site use
  • The level of risk and appropriate response

Clear reporting and professional advice

All surveys are supported by clear written reports where required. These can be used to:

  • Inform maintenance decisions
  • Support property transactions
  • Demonstrate responsible tree management
