Tree Liability Assessments

Owning trees, no matter how many, brings with it responsibility.  You have a duty of care to keep users of your property, or neighbouring properties, safe from harm which dangerous trees may present.  Should an accident occur because of a tree or branch failing you could be found negligent if you have not demonstrated "reasonable care" by having the trees inspected at regular intervals by a qualified Arboriculturalist.

A liability survey of your tree stock to assess their condition will help you to manage your trees safely and mitigate any loss in court for unpredictable accidents. Our reports give recommendations for work required enabling you to spend money on an effective Tree Management and Maintenance Plan.

Our reports are particularly invaluable where you have trees overhanging public highways, footways, or buildings.

Our Practice has recently completed Tree Liability Surveys for the following sites:
