We carry out systematic tree inspections, recording height, diameter, canopy spread, physiological condition and structural integrity. Each tree is categorised in line with BS5837 to determine its retention value and development impact.

Our reports are suitable for submission to the Local Planning Authority and integrate seamlessly with architectural site plans.
