This in-depth evaluation helps us uncover signs of disease, pest infestations, and potential risks that might otherwise evade the untrained eye.
3. Risk Evaluation and Prioritisation
Through rigorous evaluation, our team assesses the level of risk each tree poses. This comprehensive risk assessment allows us to prioritise management actions effectively.

Understanding Tree Reports and Arboricultural Surveys
The culmination of tree surveys is the creation of comprehensive tree reports, including specialised arboricultural surveys. These reports become invaluable resources for property owners, developers, and local authorities seeking to make informed decisions about tree management and urban development.
What Is a Tree Report?
A tree report from Treework Environmental Practice distils the richness of a comprehensive survey into a structured and actionable document. Each report offers detailed insights into each tree’s health, risk level, and recommended actions. These reports empower decision-makers to navigate the complexities of tree management with clarity and purpose, ensuring the preservation of valuable resources.
The Role of Arboricultural Surveys
Arboricultural surveys, a distinctive facet of our services, delve deeper into tree health and structural integrity. Collaborating closely with local planning authorities during development assessments, we ensure that the proposed construction aligns with preserving natural resources. Our recommendations foster a symbiotic coexistence between urban progress and the preservation of natural vitality.
The Importance of Compliance and Expertise
In the UK, adherence to regulations surrounding tree surveys is paramount. Expertise ensures that surveys are meticulously conducted, aligning with legal mandates and facilitating compliance for property owners and developers.
