Arboriculture Services
No matter your project’s size or complexity, we can support its success with expert arboricultural input, from arboricultural impact assessments to tree management plans. Work with a team that lives by the professional standards of the Arboricultural Association. Trust us to ensure that the best arboriculture assets are preserved while your project runs smoothly and stays on track.
What is arboriculture and what does it mean for you?
There’s a lot of talk about Arboricultural Impact Assessments, tree surveys, and other services on the way. But first things first, what is arboriculture and why do you need our help?
Arboriculture is the study, cultivation, and management of trees. If your development has trees within it or its borders, you have a duty of care to ensure that they are regularly inspected and maintained so they’re as safe as reasonably possible. Depending on your needs, arboricultural input is required for planning applications with work such as Arboricultural Impact Assessments, Tree Surveys, Protection Strategies and management plans.
What does the arboriculture process look like?
The arboriculture team usually starts with a BS5837 Tree Quality Survey to assess the quality of trees on your site. Various measurements will be recorded, and most importantly the stem diameter of the trees on site which is used to calculate the Root Protection Area (RPA), which is essential to know for development plans.
An Arboricultural Impact Assessment follows this survey to assess the impacts of the development proposal on existing trees within the site. This will also detail the necessary mitigation or compensation requirements to account for any potential loss of trees.
Next steps may include an Arboricultural Method Statement which details the methodologies needed to ensure your trees are adequately safeguarded during development.
Each project looks different, so our experts will work with you to ensure the right course of action is taken to meet your development needs and objectives.
Here are some of our arboriculture services:
Arboricultural impact surveys and beyond.
– Preliminary Opportunities and Constraints Mapping (Feasibility Studies/Due Diligence)
– Arboricultural Surveys (BS 5837)
– Arboricultural Impact Assessments (AIA)
– Tree Preservation Order (TPO) Surveys and Critiques
– Arboricultural Method Statements (AMS)
– Tree Risk-Benefit Assessments
– Veteran tree surveys
– Expert Witness
– Tree Protection Strategies
– Tree and Woodland Management Plans
Your reports will be simple and concise. No head-scratching jargon. Just easy to digest information with clear advice and outcomes. Plus, our survey and report service is tailored to your unique situation.
You might also need ongoing tree management, whether it’s for a property or privately owned woodland. We can provide:
– Tree Protection Strategies
– Tree and Woodland Management Plans
A tree management plan shows you’re taking the proper steps to keep your trees safe. While continual management of trees keeps them healthy, it can also improve appearance and biodiversity value. You can find out more about our arboriculture services in depth

Why Tyler Grange for your arboricultural requirements?
We work collaboratively across the three main disciplines we are experts in: arboriculture, ecology, and landscape planning. We’re not limited to one discipline, and we have a deep knowledge and understanding of the planning system and how it integrates into local planning policy.
We pride ourselves on giving strategic and pragmatic advice in the early stages of the design process. This helps to ensure development proposals retain the environmental assets on site while benefitting your project and the people beyond completion.
