WHAT WE DO

Arboricultural services

Tree surveys and practical arboricultural advice for managed landscapes, development sites and the planning process.

Our surveys are tailored to the site, the client’s responsibilities and the decisions required. Findings are presented clearly, with practical recommendations and useful next steps.

Tree Risk Management

BS5837 tree surveys

Trees can be a material planning consideration where development is proposed in close proximity to them. We provide BS 5837 surveys and supporting information to identify constraints early and support the planning process.

We provide the following to assist your planning application:

Tree Planting & Establishment

Planting a tree is just the beginning — successful establishment depends on the right tree, the right place and appropriate care over time.

Right tree, right place

Successful establishment starts with selecting trees that are appropriate for the site, available space and intended purpose. Urban Arb Consulting provides practical advice on species selection, planting location and specification, helping to reduce future conflicts and support healthy long-term development.

Establishment & aftercare

Drawing on experience managing and monitoring newly planted tree stock, advice can also cover planting standards, watering, formative pruning, replacement requirements and ongoing establishment. Early monitoring helps identify issues before they become established problems and gives new trees the best chance of reaching maturity.
