Tree Surveys & Risk Assessments FAQs

Tree surveys help identify risks such as weak branches, decay, or instability. They are essential for meeting legal responsibilities and ensuring the safety of people and property.
For most properties, trees should be inspected every 1–3 years depending on their age, condition, and location. High-risk areas, such as trees near roads or buildings, may require more frequent checks.
A BS5837 survey is required for planning and development projects in the UK. It assesses the impact of proposed works on existing trees and helps guide decisions on tree protection, retention, or removal.
