HOMEOWNER TREE SURVEYS
BY GCK TREEWORKS

If you own land, want to develop land, or are thinking about buying a particular piece of property, then you are going to need a tree survey.

Simply put, a tree survey is an inspection of all the trees, shrubs and vegetation on the piece of land. This inspection collects a range of information about the trees. It is done through a systematic approach to find any and all defects, as well as information regarding the trees.

Tree surveys are completely impartial and can help you figure out anything from what type of tree is on your land to whether or not there are any tree hazards.

A tree survey will detail all the information about the trees on the site in question and help determine which trees are to be retained and which are to be removed. They are extremely useful in that they allow proper informed decisions to be made. A professional tree surveyor or arborist will usually work to the British Standard BS5837.
