Barnes & Associates independent arboricultural consultants - leading the way Ian Barnes – Arboricultural Association Registered Arboricultural Consultant

Tree Surveys & Assessments

This service provides a range of tree inspections that can be tailored to clients’ particular requirements, covering singular trees through to groups, woodlands and large estates.

Assessment of health or structural integrity of trees can be achieved in various ways, from a visual tree assessment (VTA) that explores the body language of the tree, through to various non-invasive technologies, which can explore internal condition, tree stability and vitality to help inform an assessment of the trees safety.

Early identification of a pest, disease, biotic or abiotic factors can be significant to longer term tree health, and is therefore essential to ensure that trees are as safe as is reasonably practicable.

Tree inspections are generally made from ground level, though climbing inspections are offered where necessary to allow informed remedial management.
