TREE RISK
Surveys & Reports for Tree Risk Management
Trees are invaluable assets, offering environmental, aesthetic, and economic benefits. However, they can also pose risks if not properly maintained. Our Tree Risk Surveys are designed to assess and manage these risks, ensuring the safety of people and property while promoting tree health.
Understanding Tree Risk Surveys
A Tree Risk Survey involves a systematic evaluation of trees to identify potential hazards, such as structural weaknesses, diseases, or environmental factors that could lead to failure. By conducting these assessments, we help property owners and managers fulfil their duty of care, preventing foreseeable harm from hazardous trees.
Our experienced arborists employ a comprehensive methodology that includes:
-
Visual Tree Assessment (VTA): A thorough inspection to detect signs of decay, cracks, or other structural issues.
-
Advanced Diagnostic Tools: Utilizing equipment like decay detection devices and aerial inspections to examine internal and upper canopy conditions.
-
Risk Evaluation: Assessing the likelihood of tree or limb failure and the potential impact on targets such as buildings, vehicles, or pedestrians.
-
Management Recommendations: Providing actionable advice to mitigate identified risks, which may include pruning, cabling, bracing, or, in severe cases, tree removal.
