The service
Is this the right service?
A preliminary assessment identifies tree constraints before you finalise a design. It helps you and your design team consider which trees to retain, allow space around them and plan any further reporting.
When it can help
- You are planning works but have not finalised the layout.
- You need tree advice for feasibility or a pre-purchase decision.
- You are unsure which report your project needs.

The assessment
How it works
Review your plans
We discuss the project and review any survey, concept drawings or council advice.
Assess relevant trees
We record tree condition, dimensions and locations, including nearby trees that may affect your design.
Guide the next stage
We explain retention considerations, root-zone constraints and whether an impact assessment or protection plan may be needed.
Your deliverables
What your report includes
- Inventory of relevant trees
- Condition and retention considerations
- Root-zone and protection information
- Design considerations and further reporting needs
Scope and limitations
Advice reflects the information available. Revised plans or new council requirements may need further assessment. Detailed CAD drawings and additional investigations are only included if agreed.
