Arboricultural Consultancy Services

We provide professional, qualified tree consultancy across Ireland, delivering the precise reports and assessments required for planning permission, safety management, and legal compliance. From initial tree surveys to expert witness representation, we ensure your project meets all regulatory standards.

Site Constraints & Feasibility Study

We conduct baseline BS 5837 tree surveys to accurately position trees, categorise tree quality, identify spatial and legal constraints, and produce Tree Constraints Plans (TCP) at the initial stages of development design to avoid unforeseen complications and protect valuable assets.

Arboricultural Impact Assessment 

We deliver comprehensive Arboricultural Impact Assessments (AIA) that precisely evaluate the relationship between your proposed design and the existing tree population. We detail all direct and indirect implications, including necessary tree removal, pruning for structural clearance, and potential soil compaction or root damage within retained zones. This critical data is then mapped onto a professional CAD drawing, clearly illustrating tree retention, removals, and specific mitigation measures to satisfy local authority planning requirements.

Arboricultural Method Statement

We develop detailed Arboricultural Method Statements (AMS) that act as a step-by-step technical guide for contractors operating near retained trees. This document outlines specific construction methodologies—including the installation of specialised ground protection, tree protection fencing, and manual excavation techniques within Root Protection Areas (RPAs)—to prevent site damage and guarantee compliance with approved planning conditions.

Tree Protection Plan

We produce accurate Tree Protection Plans (TPP) using clear CAD drawings to overlay construction layouts with existing tree data. This plan serves as a vital on-site blueprint for developers, explicitly mapping out the precise layout of tree protection barriers, construction exclusion zones, and specialised ground protection needed to safeguard retained trees throughout the entire build phase.

Arboricultural Clerk of Works

We provide ongoing site monitoring and on-site supervision throughout the construction phases. Our role ensures strict compliance with active planning conditions, satisfying local authority requirements through the precise execution of approved tree protection methods, and act as the main point of contact for tree-related issues as they arise during the project.

Tree Condition & Safety Assessments

While trees are valuable assets, unmanaged trees can introduce significant property and public liabilities. We provide comprehensive risk evaluations to identify structural defects, decay, and potential hazards before they become costly problems.
Following our inspection, we provide an evidence-based report complete with a color-coded map detailing tree locations and clear work priorities. This practical breakdown helps homeowners and estate managers balance landscape conservation with proactive risk management.
