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.

Tree Surveys, Inspections & Decay Detection in Wareham

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.

Working in Wareham

Wareham's holiday parks, schools and riverside businesses carry a clear duty of care for their trees, and a written survey is what shows it was taken seriously. Being local, we can revisit after a storm rather than working from a report that is a year old.

Heartwood Tree Management is based in Wareham, minutes from the town centre. That means fast response times, easy site visits and no travel charges for Wareham work.

We look after trees across the town and surrounding villages: garden tree surgery, hedge maintenance, stump grinding, and commercial contracts for local businesses, schools and holiday parks.

As a Wareham business we know the local planning context well, including Purbeck's conservation areas and the TPO records held by Dorset Council. We check both before any work is quoted.
