Tree Consultancy Group is a chartered arboricultural practice which carries out professional tree surveys and provides reports and advice on matters relating to safety, risk management and planning.
Although we mainly serve clients in Edinburgh, the Lothians and Scottish Borders, we operate nationally and will work elsewhere in Scotland and in the rest of the UK.
Our aim is to provide clients with robust protection against possible litigation resulting from the failure of their trees, without resorting to cutting them all down.
We provide:
- Tree safety surveys and audits.
- Duty of Care safety surveys to comply with The Occupier’s Liability (Scotland) Act 1960 and The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
- Tree risk assessment and management, benchmarking risk against the Tolerability of Risk Framework as recommended by HSE.
- Tree surveys using sub-metre GPS and GIS with CAD plans.
- Pre-planning (or purchase) site appraisals and feasibility studies.
- Tree surveys and reports for insurance and mortgages.
- Expert Witness representation.
We do not carry out tree work (tree surgery) or felling. We therefore have no financial incentive to recommend any unnecessary work to clients’ trees.
We no longer provide development-related services such as BS5837 surveys, Arboricultural Impact Assessment studies, Method Statements or Tree Protection Plans.
Our clients include Local Authorities, Councils, charities, private estates, Housing Associations, solicitors, property owners and managers.
We always try to operate to the highest professional and ethical standards, and adhere to the Institute of Chartered Foresters members’ Code of Conduct at all times.
