Tree Consultants

We are able to offer a complete Arboricultural Consultancy Service to our clients:

Tree Surveying

Arbforce recommends that, as a protection against possible consequential damage and loss, all trees should be surveyed annually.

Tree owners are advised to look carefully at their trees for signs of fungal activity at the base and root system (particularly noticeable in the autumn) and for dead and diseased branches and cavities in the stem and crown.

Call in an expert Arboriculturist if any problems are found. The investment in a professional opinion can conserve your trees and avoid costly consequences.

Site visits and surveying can be carried out to clients' requirements, from an individual tree to whole estate schemes. Aerial inspections, digital photography and our vast experience of tree physiology and disease can provide you with all the help you need for the better management of your trees.

Resistograph Measurements

We have the facility for the careful investigation of the internal condition of buttress roots and branches.

The Resistograph uses an advanced drilling technique using special equipment that detects resistance to the penetration of a 2mm drill bit to a depth of up to 400mm. A drilled shaft of such small diameter is easily sealed and highly unlikely to introduce decay organisms because of the strict hygiene procedures used with this equipment.

Arbforce can provide comprehensive written and illustrated reports upon tree condition with the recommendations for planning applications, insurance and mortgage application etc. for one tree or for whole sites as required.
