• Risk assessment - quantifying and assessing the hazards that trees present is essential under the Occupiers Liability Act 1957 which puts tree owners under a duty of care to anyone who may be affected by any part of the tree.
• Health, vigor and environmental significance surveys – responsible management and care of trees is guided by an understanding of the trees current condition. At Arborista we seek to encourage the sustainable retention of trees for visual amenity and there environmental significance.
