Tree Surveys And Tree Reports

Naturally Trees is an independent tree specialist providing expert advice to homeowners and residential / commercial land owners and developers. We are academically and professionally qualified and combine experience and expertise in tree management, arboricultural assessment and tree care.

A tree survey is the inspection and gathering of data performed on private or public landscapes. The goal of the survey is to provide useful information on the trees so that property managers or homeowners can make informed decisions. Based on the information that they receive from the survey, they may then decide what to do with the trees.

Regular tree surveys can help tree owners to discharge their legal obligations and ensure that the trees in their care do not represent a danger to other people or their property. Under such an inspection regime, the surveyor conducting the tree condition surveys becomes responsible for the health and safety aspects.

A typical tree survey report will include a description of each tree, its dimensions and state of health, work requirements and timescales to complete this work. A plan showing each tree’s location is provided to aid interpretation.
