Tree surveying is the practice of assessing trees to meet specific needs, whether for safety, management, or planning purposes. While individuals may inspect their own trees casually for signs of damage or disease, professional surveys are more detailed and serve defined objectives. Conducted by trained experts, these surveys result in comprehensive reports, often with digital mapping and decay scans to reveal internal tree conditions.

Common Reasons for Tree Surveys:

• Health and safety assessments
• Property development and construction projects
• Tree identification and preservation efforts
• Land and estate management plans
• Mortgage applications and property sales
• Ecology and habitat management
• Concerns about root-related damage to infrastructure
• Protection under Tree Preservation Orders
• Bat Surveying

Tree surveys can support informed decisions and proactive tree management across diverse applications.
