At ProHort Ltd, we provide professional tree surveys in Surrey and the surrounding areas. Our surveys assess the size, age, health, and life expectancy of trees to ensure they are safe, compliant, and suitable for your project. A surveyor can carry out assessments on any tree with a diameter of over 75mm.
By commissioning a tree survey, you will receive expert recommendations on any treatment required, along with clear advice on whether a tree should be retained on site or if remedial action is necessary.
Why You May Need a Tree Survey
Planning applications – Tree surveys are often required as part of development projects, particularly where construction may impact the surrounding landscape. Insurance purposes – Both commercial and domestic clients may need surveys to assess risk and protect their property.
Industry Standards
To be valid for planning applications, all our tree surveys are completed in line with British Standard 5837:2012. This ensures surveys meet the highest professional standards and comply with relevant planning regulations.
Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs)
During a survey, we may identify trees that are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). These are applied to trees with significant amenity value, rare specimens, or those in designated areas. If a TPO applies, additional documentation and searches will be required.
How do Tree Surveys in Surrey work?
Following your initial contact with us, we will provide you with advice regarding the requirements for the tree survey. We will then arrange for our specialist to complete the survey. Please advise us of the amount of trees on the site, as this will be used to provide you with an accurate cost.
Our specialist consultant will then visit the site to carry out the survey and take any required measurements. If required, the consultant will meet with you onsite. This will help ensure that we incorporate any requirements for the survey into the report.
Finally, your tree survey report will then be put together and sent in the form of a PDF within 48 hours of the site visit. See more about our tree surveys here.
