Tree Risk Hazard Assessments
This service is for tree owners, or those responsible for managing trees, and is to help tree owners with tree hazard management and to comply with their Duty Of Care. Ideal for trees that are located near low, moderate or high risk areas like roads or recreation grounds car parks etc. Not just for schools and estates but also for home owners with only one tree.
A detailed on site assessment is carried out to identify risk level, disease and abnormality, and determine their significance as a potential hazard, and advisory action will conclude the report.
These inspections are affordable as they don't need lengthy reports, just the data gathered on site and a site plan. Let me know what you need and how many trees need assessing for a quote, and I can help you choose the right survey.
