Surveys and Inspections
Providing cost effective measures for tree managers with staged systems of data gathering starting with landscape surveys and progressing to full photodocumented canopy explorations. Survey processes can be tailored to suit any situation.
Site assessments
Site assessments define the structure, age class and condition of trees and identify specimens that require more advanced surveys. As trees are a landscape feature many considerations that are not directly plant health are factors when making decisions. These can be topographical considerations investigated by elevation and relief mapping or windshear assessments based on area measurements and tree form. There can also be consideration to the amenity or environmental value, rarity and ecological richness, public access or conservation orders. Due to their longevity and prominence in the landscape good management of trees can be a complex business
Visual Tree Assessments
Using industry approved non-intrusive methodologies important factors of tree health and condition are recorded. This include ground assessments, Union inspection, Documentation of wounds and defects and assessing long term viability, structural stability and management options
Advanced Inspections.
Aerial Inspections are required for larger trees where important load bearing unions cannot be accessed from the ground. Advanced inspections also includes acoustic response assessments of all major unions
Decay Detection
Decay probing and quantification is important to assess the structural stability of crowns and unions, There are a range of methods to suit budgets
Canopy Mapping
For particularly important trees full branch and form reports with comments on windshear, tree habits and long term growth plans are available, including full habitat surveys including regular monitoring
