Tree condition surveys to keep your property safe
Tree condition surveys are essential for identifying hazards and managing risk. From schools and care homes to councils and private estates, we help property owners meet their duty of care with accurate, professional assessments.
Ensuring tree safety and duty-of-care
Landowners and organisations have a duty-of-care to manage the safety of trees. Our tree condition surveys identify risks and provide clear recommendations to keep people and property safe.
"We needed a condition survey for the trees around our school grounds and the report was clear, professional, and easy to understand. Jason highlighted the urgent works but also gave practical advice for long-term management. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend."
Keeping your trees safe and well-maintained
Our tree condition surveys provide a thorough assessment of the health and stability of your trees. By identifying defects, assessing risks, and recommending management actions, we help homeowners, councils, and businesses protect people, property, and the trees themselves.
Visual tree inspection
We carry out a detailed on-site inspection, checking each tree’s structure, canopy, and overall health. This allows us to spot issues that may not be visible from a distance.
Identification of defects
All visible and potential problems are recorded, including dead branches, cracks, decay, and pest or disease presence, giving you a clear picture of tree condition.
Risk rating system
Each tree is evaluated using a standardised risk rating, highlighting the likelihood and potential impact of failure. This ensures prioritisation of urgent work.
Management advice
Based on our findings, we provide practical guidance on pruning, removal, or ongoing monitoring to maintain safety and tree health.
Expert guidance for property owners
Our tree condition surveys help organisations and landowners keep their grounds safe, compliant, and well-maintained. By identifying potential hazards early, we provide actionable guidance that protects people, property, and the health of your trees. From schools and care homes to councils and private estates, our surveys offer peace of mind and practical solutions tailored to each site.
Schools and colleges
Schools have a legal duty of care to ensure their grounds are safe. Regular tree condition surveys prevent accidents and provide reassurance to staff, students, and parents.
Care homes and healthcare facilities
For organisations responsible for vulnerable people, safety is paramount. Tree surveys ensure outdoor spaces are secure for residents and visitors.
Local councils and authorities
Councils must manage public areas like highways, parks, and housing estates. Condition surveys help reduce liability by identifying risks early.
Private landowners and large estates
Homeowners with large gardens or estates benefit from surveys to ensure their trees remain safe, healthy, and well-maintained.
Tree condition survey FAQs
Tree condition surveys are essential for ongoing safety and risk management. In this FAQ, we cover everything from how often surveys should be carried out to what the report includes, helping you keep your property and loved ones safe.
A tree condition survey is a professional inspection that assesses tree health, structure, and safety. It identifies defects such as decay, disease, or instability and provides management recommendations to reduce risk.
Landowners, schools, councils, and businesses all have a legal duty of care to manage tree risk. A tree condition survey demonstrates compliance by showing that trees have been inspected and any risks managed appropriately.
Condition surveys are usually recommended every 18 months, but older or high-risk trees may need annual inspections. The surveyor will recommend a re-inspection schedule tailored to your site.
A condition report records tree species, size, health, defects, and risk level. It also includes photographs, a site plan, and practical management recommendations to ensure safety and legal compliance.
A basic condition survey costs from around £300 depending on the number of trees. Larger estates or sites with hundreds of trees will cost more as each tree must be individually inspected and recorded.
