Tree Surveys
What is included in our Tree Survey Service?
All tree owners, or those responsible for trees have a duty of care and a legal requirement to take reasonable steps to maintain public safety.
By helping our clients adhere to the relevant statute and common laws applicable to tree ownership and tree management we are able to produce tree risk management plans to help tree managers and owners fulfil their duty of care.
“To provide a proportionate balance between the benefits of trees to people and the environment to the risk posed by trees to public safety and defendable rather than defensive actions.”
We can provide detailed individual tree assessments and population surveys in an efficient cost-effective manner by producing clear survey objectives.
The time taken to plan and collect data may vary in each survey category according to the complexity and scope being agreed. If you would like to discuss further details or arrange a site visit, please contact drew@beithtreeconsultancy.ie

To be without trees would, in the most
literal way, to be without our roots
