There are many different reasons why you might require an assessment on your trees, Health and Safety being the primary requirement. The Occupiers Liabilities Act of 1984 states you should take all reasonable care to ensure your trees do not cause harm or damage to people or property.
Visual Tree Assessments will help you manage your trees in a proactive way. VTAs will be carried out from ground level using laser height measuring equipment, binoculars, sounding hammers, and probes.

A tree preservation order (TPO) is a part of town and country planning in the United Kingdom. A TPO is made by a local planning authority to protect specific trees or a group of trees, from deliberate damage and destruction, if those trees are important for the amenity of the area.
TPOs make the wilful damage to trees without the permission of the local planning authority an illegal offence. Our experienced and qualified Arborist can advise you on the correct protocol for working on trees with TPOs and trees located within conservation areas.
