Tree Condition and Liability Reports - for Private Estates, Schools, Local Councils and Householders.

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 any harm presented by your trees.  Should an accident occur because of a tree or branch failing you could be found negligent if you have not demonstrated "reasonable care".  You can do this by having your 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 necessary tree work, enabling you to spend money on an effective Tree Management and Tree Maintenance Plan.  Our aim is to reassure you, not frighten you!

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