Arboriculture

Trees play an important part in our environment, providing visual amenity and are distinct features in the wider landscape. Effective tree management can prolong a trees contribution to the locality, whilst minimising any potential risk they may pose.

Our team of surveyors and technicians have both industry experience and academic qualifications within their field of expertise. Investment in technology such as GIS systems and Air Spade equipment means we can provide a full arboricultural service.

Ecology

Recent increases in ecological awareness makes it necessary for any development to assess potential impact and provide mitigation strategies when necessary. We offer a comprehensive range of ecological services from start to end ranging from initial site assessment to the design of mitigation solutions and the execution of mitigation works.

We provide sustainable and practical solutions to meet our clients' needs. Our ecologists are all members of the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management and hold at least one Natural England European protected species licence.
