Tree Inspections An arboricultural survey is very important to record trees that may be at risk of causing harm or damage, in both residential and commercial circumstances. It is the tree-owner’s legal ‘duty of care’ to others to have their trees professionally inspected and the recommended work carried out. The survey provides information such as: Tree species, age and condition Potential safety concerns, hazards or nuisances Prioritised recommendations for remedial work BS5837/Pre-Planning Surveys Working from a CAD-type drawing with accurate tree locations, BS5837 surveys are designed to collect accurate data for each tree, assess their condition and categorise them according to their quality, which is based on condition, and their arboricultural, ecological and cultural significance. This process will mainly concern architects and developers, but can also apply to home-owners who are planning property improvements or development. AVA’s professional tree consultants use the latest technology to capture data on site, and to provide you with easily-digested information that will enable the safe and systematic management of your trees – before, during and post development. The survey includes a full stock-take of trees in areas that may be affected by a proposed development, recording all relevant dimensions and tree condition. A full report detailing tree condition with recommended works, potential conflicts and a tree constraints plan (showing root protection areas) is provided. If required by planning, we can also provide an Arboricultural Impact Assessment, Arboricultural Method Statement and a Tree Protection Plan. Inspections For Bats In Trees Wilful or negligent destruction of bats or their roosts is a criminal offence. Bats are a threatened species, with their habitat being severely depleted over the last century. They are a necessary and important part of our natural ecology, responsible for keeping down the numbers of midges and other flying insects. We can carry out ground-based ‘bat potential’ inspections as well as more thorough ground- and aerial-inspections of trees for bats using an endoscope. Our professional tree consultants can provide thorough inspections for bats in trees prior to any tree surgery, demolition or development, in order to prevent an offence being committed. We were trained and certified by Echoes Ecology in 2012. Reviews snippet: Gavin Stirling: After reading the reviews on here for Arbor Vitae Arboriculture Ltd we asked Mike to inspect a tree on my mother’s property that a neighbours tree surgeon had suggested was at the end of its life. Mike came out at short notice, inspected the tree and shortly afterwards we had an excellent written report on the health of the tree. As all the other 5* reviews have said Mike provides an excellent, high quality prompt service at reasonable cost. Highly recommended. || David: We needed advice on treating a number of trees in our garden. Mike arranged to visit within a few days and was very knowledgeable and helpful, offering guidance on what work was required and giving options based on our needs. || William Davidson: Mike was pleasant and was able to answer all my queries regarding tree that was causing damage to my property. Created very professional report that was easy to understand. Would definitely use Mike’s Company again if required.
