Tree Risk Surveys

Trees situated close to property or on publicly accessible land present potential risk to both personal and public safety. Landowners are responsible for damage or injury caused by trees on their land and have a duty of care to prevent foreseeable harm occurring to people from any hazardous trees situated on their property. Trees need to be assessed regularly and managed to keep risks of causing harm or injury low. 

​

Tree risk surveys include:

• Site mapping according to risk

• Tree Risk inspection inventories

• Intermediate tree inspections

• Detailed individual tree inspection

• Excavation and assessment of tree roots

• Trees plotted onto GIS or using GPS/Laser

• Quantified Tree Risk Assessment (QTRA)

​

We can provide the following outputs:

• Maps of tree positions with legends for easy identification of tree characteristics

• Data in a range of standard digital formats for integration in database management systems and GIS

• Analyses and reports on findings

• Easy to read schedules of survey data

• Prioritised works schedules

• Works orders

• Archiving of completed work

• Assessment of implications for future policy

​

From single trees to entire populations, our tree risk management approach means that we take on much of the burden of responsibility for tree safety from the tree owner.
