Independent arboricultural consultancy, UK-wide coverage
Precision, non-invasive root investigations and soil decompaction for sensitive development sites and veteran tree management.
Working in sensitive areas and with high value trees requires a deep understanding of both arboricultural science and local planning nuances.
Experienced in providing the detail required for adherence to NJUG Vol. 4 guidelines and BS5837:2012.
Our AirSpade™ technology ensures minimal damage to roots, cables or gas lines during excavation.
We interpret root data to provide actionable advice for your development or conservation project.
Traditional ground excavation methods close to trees pose a high risk of damage to associated roots. We use advanced AirSpade™ technology — a high-pressure compressed air tool that safely excavates soil without damaging roots or underground utilities.
Whether navigating a complex planning application near veteran oaks or attempting to save a declining tree in a high-traffic area, our technical root solutions provide the clarity and remediation required to succeed.
For architects, planning consultants and developers, the exact locations of structural roots of high value trees can be the difference between a successful planning application and a costly refusal. Soil compaction is often a 'silent killer' of urban trees, and our AirSpade™ services extend beyond investigation into high-level arboricultural care.
