Arboricultural Consultancy Services

We are tree experts providing advice, undertaking surveys and written reports on arboricultural issues. As arboricultural consultants we provide a range of services to support planning applications for sites with trees, to assess the risk of failure of trees and consider safety issues, to provide advice on a variety of disputes, typically between neighbours but also with local authority owned trees, to investigate accidents where damage to property and or people are invovled, to resolve subsidence claims and to assist in decision making in providing valuations of amenity trees. We focus on London and South East England, but can provide a nationwide service.
