Tree and shrub survey
Trees and shrubs are best considered while the development layout can still be adjusted. We connect a tree and shrub survey with mapping, helping designers identify conflicts, consider retention opportunities and understand which further project decisions or consultations may be needed.
Make existing vegetation a clear design consideration
We define the survey area and how field records will be linked to the available base map. Trees and shrubs are identified and described using the attributes needed for the agreed purpose. Consistent identifiers connect each schedule entry to a location, reducing misunderstandings between field specialists, designers and the project team.
Where a proposed layout is available, survey information is compared with it to identify potential conflicts and vegetation protection needs. Recommendations reflect the project and the extent of observations made. A description of visible condition is not automatically a detailed tree stability assessment; situations requiring specialist diagnostics are identified for separate investigation before a decision is made.
The material supports discussions about layout changes, construction arrangements and further documentation using a shared dataset. The survey is not permission to remove vegetation and does not replace separate procedures. If the design or site conditions change after the survey, the currency of the information should be checked before it is used for subsequent decisions.

What you receive
You receive a tree and shrub survey with a map and a consistent inventory of the vegetation recorded. It includes the agreed field attributes and project-relevant recommendations. The package supports identification in documentation, discussion of conflicts and planning of next steps, clearly distinguishing the inventory from any specialist diagnostics or separate formal consultations that may be required.
