Professional Tree Assessments

The right tree information can keep a project moving.

Trees can affect planning applications, development layouts, site safety and long-term property management. Without the right survey or report, projects can be delayed and important risks or constraints can be missed.

Gardners Trees provides clear tree reports and surveys to support informed decisions, planning submissions and responsible tree management.

When You May Need a Tree Survey

Tree reports and surveys for planning, development and tree management

Planning Application Requirements

Planning authorities may require arboricultural information where proposed work could affect trees on or adjacent to a site.

Development Near Trees

A survey can identify important trees, root protection areas and site constraints before a layout or construction programme is finalised.

Tree Condition & Safety

Condition surveys help identify defects, deterioration and other issues that may require monitoring or remedial work.

Construction & Site Protection

Development work can affect roots and retained trees, making clear protection measures and working methods essential.

Tree Retention & Removal

Reports can help identify which trees are suitable for retention and where removal or pruning may need to be considered.

Planning Conditions & Compliance

Arboricultural documents can help demonstrate how retained trees will be protected before and during construction.
