Tree Surveys
Trees are usually safe -
which is why we enjoy them in our daily lives. Let us provide you with the best available evidence to keep it that way. We take a proportionate approach to tree risk management, which means balancing the frequency and type of tree inspections we can undertake with not just the setting, but also the various benefits and services trees provide. We do not undertake tree works, ensuring an impartiality break when it comes to stumping up for tree works.
We can prepare Tree Risk Management Strategies at any scale to provide you with a basis for peace of mind. Tesco Stores UK have one, we wrote it!
Perhaps you have a strategy in place, in which case we can help you with formal inspections – whether from ground level of from a rope and harness, a one-off or part of a planned series.
Not certain if it’s safe? Let us know, we take evidence seriously, especially if it’s the difference between keeping large, interesting, and important trees in the scene. We can inform decision making by making the best use of decay testing technology and the literature to investigate further …. and ensure the chainsaw is the last resort.

Feasibility studies & Site Promotion
A cost-effective, concise survey conducted prior to making any offer on land. Its purpose is to identify trees that could pose constraints to proposed development and should be prioritised for retention in the design. The survey is provided in the form of a tree location drawing, accompanied by a technical note.
BS5837:2012 tree surveys
We specialise in conducting BS5837:2012 tree surveys for a wide range of projects, from large-scale developments to individual trees on smaller residential sites across Great Britain. The primary objective of these surveys is to gather detailed information about trees on or near the site, which helps guide design decisions.
Our tree surveys are based on a visual tree assessment, with tree locations identified through a topographical survey. In accordance with BS5837:2012 “Trees in relation to Design, Construction and Demolition” the survey includes the following details: Tree Numbers, Species, Stem Diameter, Tree Heights, Crown Spreads, Crown Clearance, Life Stage, Physiological and Structural condition, Comments, BS5837 Category, and Estimated Remaining Contribution.

Trust us for accurate thorough reports, and effective solutions.
Climbed Inspections
When ground-based inspections aren’t enough, our climbed inspections provide a thorough, hands-on approach to assessing the health and safety of trees. Using rope and harness techniques, our experienced arborists conduct detailed inspections at height, allowing us to closely examine branches, trunks, and hard-to-reach areas that could pose a risk. This method is particularly useful for assessing large or mature trees, where traditional approaches may not provide a complete picture. With a focus on safety and precision, our climbed inspections deliver accurate, actionable data to help you make informed decisions about tree care and management.
Canopy Cover Assessment
Understanding the extent and health of your tree canopy is key to maintaining a vibrant ecosystem. Our Tree Canopy Cover Assessment provides a detailed analysis of tree cover across your site, measuring canopy density, distribution, and overall tree health. Using advanced mapping techniques and on-site data collection, we assess the impact of your canopy on local wildlife, air quality, and climate resilience. Whether for urban planning, land conservation, or biodiversity management, our comprehensive reports help you make informed decisions to protect and enhance your green spaces.
Tree Risk Management
Aspect offers Tree Risk Management surveys for trees located on or near public land. As the landowner, you are responsible for any injury or damage caused by hazardous trees and have a duty of care to ensure these trees do not pose a risk. Regular assessments of the structural condition of these trees are essential.
We provide the survey findings in the form of a comprehensive report or schedule, along with a tree location drawing.
