Tree Surveys

We work with land owners, local authorities, housing associations and public bodies to facilitate the management of large tree populations including quantity surveying for tree works and general landscape maintenance.  We offer a proactive and risk tolerant approach to tree management, ensuring minimal costs in on-going tree safety for the benefit of members of the public and site users. 

Some of our completed projects requiring management of large populations of trees:

Powys Council: Surveying, recording and mapping trees for over a decade for public safety and healthy living spaces
Herefordshire Council: Surveying, recording and mapping the local authority’s trees since 2002
Mid Wales Trunk Road Agency: Providing the baseline tree survey data for over 500 miles of trunk road.
Cannock Chase District Council: All trees mapped and “chipped” using RFID technology for bar code scanning.
Bridgnorth District Council: Comprehensive Tree Preservation Order Review of all TPOs prior to becoming a unitary authority.
Wycombe District Council: Comprehensive survey of all trees including planning support for over 200 related planning applications.
Birmingham City Council: Completing the largest tree survey ever undertaken with over 200,000 trees.
National Trust: undertaking extensive tree surveys for health and safety and for general site management purposes.

Where uncertainty in tree health exists, we use a non-invasive decay detector to map the extent of decay internally.  Our Picus Sonic Tomograph uses 12 ultra-sound sensors to map tissue decay without causing significant harm to the tree.
