arboriculture

Balancing tree retention and management with well-designed and economic development

Trees are vital contributors to healthy, connected, and sustainable communities.

Tree protection legislation is often complex, continually evolving, and requires careful consideration in mapping out development schemes.

Given our skills and people, we understand the complex relationship between trees, design, and development.

Our in-house arborists work alongside our planners, designers, and environmental specialists to provide advice that is both technically sound and strategically aligned with the planning system and industry standards.

We know that development moves fast and our arboriculture services are designed to keep pace – delivering timely, high-quality assessments that support project momentum and compliance.

Our expert arboricultural offerings include:

  • Tree data collection and inventory management
  • Early constraints advice for planning and design teams
  • Arboricultural Impact Assessments (AS4970-2025), including Tree Protection Specifications and Plans
  • Tree Risk Assessments (ISA TRAQ methodology)
  • Guidance on legislation and policy
  • Stakeholder engagement and consultation
  • Peer review of arboricultural reports
  • Expert witness and mediation services
