Independent tree risk assessments and tree condition surveys across Cheshire, from a base near Northwich in the middle of the county. Qualified, insured, and written in plain English so you can act on them with confidence.
Cheshire's landscape includes mature oak woodland, historic estates, farmland and long-established hedgerows. A good number of these trees are protected, whether by a Tree Preservation Order or by sitting inside a Conservation Area.
We regularly advise homeowners, landowners and property buyers on tree risk assessments and mortgage tree reports throughout the county, along with clear, practical advice wherever a TPO or Conservation Area is involved.
Mature trees are part of what gives many Cheshire towns and villages their character, and local planning policy reflects that. Knowing how each council treats protected trees means we can prepare the reports and applications you need without unnecessary delay.

Yes. Many trees in Cheshire are covered by Tree Preservation Orders or sit within Conservation Areas, and councils such as Cheshire West and Chester and Cheshire East each administer their own. We can establish what applies to your tree and prepare a report to support an application before any work is carried out.
Regularly. Where the public can access your land you have a duty to manage tree risk reasonably, and we provide risk-based tree inspections for schools, care homes, councils, estates and housing associations across Cheshire.
