Tree Health, Condition, Safety and Management Reports

Owners of trees have an obligation under UK common and statute law to ensure their trees do not cause reasonably foreseeable damage or harm to other people or property. (see the Useful Links page for further reading on trees and the law).

Having an Arboriculturist's report in place and regularly updated will help to ensure you comply to these legal considerations.

Landowners/ Estate Managers may also commission a tree survey and report to establish what variety of species they have growing on their property, or within the grounds they manage and to assess the physiological & structural health of their tree stock.

The provided report following the tree assessment survey will be a "working document", reviewed periodically (annually for example) to assist with the future planning and management of trees growing around the property or within the estate grounds.

A report of this kind will ensure correct aftercare, for example, ensuring pruning works are not undertaken unnecessarily and performed at the correct time of year for the species concerned.

Tree Sense do not offer contractual tree surgery services, therefore our advice is 100% independent and impartial, so you can rest assured that any tree surgery work recommended is for the benefit of you and your trees.

We are able to put you in touch with local, reliable tree surgery contractors who are Arboricultural Association Approved (AAA) who we trust to undertake our recommendations to the highest standard. Our preferred contractors can be found HERE.
