Tree Surveys, Inspections & Decay Detection in Swanage
Know the condition of your trees, and be able to prove you checked.
If you own land with trees near people or property, you have a legal duty of care. Our inspections identify defects, prioritise action, and give you the documented evidence that you're managing risk responsibly, whether that's one garden oak or an estate's whole tree stock.

Frequently asked questions
- How often should trees be inspected?
- For most sites with public access, a formal inspection every 1 to 3 years plus post-storm checks is a defensible regime. We tailor the interval to the site's usage and tree stock.
