Tree Surveys.
Simply put, a tree survey is an inspection of all the trees, shrubs and vegetation on the piece of land. The inspection collects a range of information about the trees. It is done through a systematic approach to find any and all defects, as well as information regarding the trees. Tree surveys are completely impartial and can help figure out anything from what type of tree is on your land to whether or not there are any tree hazards. A tree survey will help you manage your trees as well as give you valuable information as to the age, condition and type of trees you have.
A typical tree survey, whether done for a private homeowner or corporation will define management objectives which provide a balance between conservation and safety. Most tree surveys are complete in line with British Standard BS5837. This is a guide on how to decide which trees should be retained and what the best way to protect them is when a site is being developed or when you have an individual reason for needing a tree survey done. It can tell you how to incorporate trees into your landscape and let you know what trees may be hazardous for any reason. The British Standard BS5837 is used by planners, builders, architects, engineers and anyone wanting to develop land, the BS5837 helps to regulate which tree is of historical value or are rare species and which ones should be removed due to fungal decay or other safety reasons.
