How we approach tree plotting

Trees are plotted on a tailored GPS device to give an accurate location in relation to an Ordnance Survey (OS) map — accurate to 1.2 metres. That precision matters: it gives the landowner reliable information about exactly which trees lie within their boundaries.

The trees within your boundaries are your responsibility. Having them assessed by a professional arborist, with an expertly advised maintenance plan, shows you have done what is reasonably required of you should an incident involving one of your trees ever affect a member of the public. As the saying goes — better to be safe than sorry. The idea is to look after you, the public and the trees.

In their words

Kind words from customers.

“Tom has looked after our large oaks and willows for several years now. He treats them as if they were his own, only doing work which is necessary for either their health or good shape. He is a pleasure to have around!”
