Expert Tree and Landscape Management
Consultancy.
Trees can be a magnificent feature on your property or they can be a worry, either way they require correct management. This is especially true for land owners that have trees in close proximity to the public. It is a lawful requirement that those trees are maintained by the owner as they will be held accountable for any damage. It is not always obvious why a particular tree may be dying, nor is it always terminal. However, the trees condition can be assessed and further tree surgery work can be recommended.
Tree Surveys and Reports:
- Visual tree assessments.
- Aerial climbing inspections.
- Tree health and condition reports.
- Risk and safety reports. 'QTRA registered'
- BS5837 Development site reports.
- Mortgage reports.
- Tree preservation law (T.P.O) advice and applications.
- Advice and specifications for remedial work.
- Tree management plans.
Planting.
The success of a tree's life is governed by its beginning. There are three factors to consider when ensuring you will have a happy and healthy tree:
- The right tree for the right location.
For example, soil conditons and quality, sun levels, space etc.
- Correct planting.
Correct depth, pit size, stake and tie method.
- Aftercare:
Watering, feeding, formative pruning, mulching.
If you allow me to assess the conditions and scenario, I can plan and deliver the best start in life for your tree.
