At Down To Earth Trees, we are your dedicated partner in integrating sustainable tree management with development projects in Edgware. Understanding the critical balance between development and environmental conservation, we offer comprehensive BS5837 tree surveys. Our services ensure your project progresses smoothly, adhering to the BS5837: "Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition, and Construction - Recommendations," and aligning with statutory guidelines for tree management.

Ensuring Compliance and Sustainability

Tree Surveys: Our certified arborists conduct detailed tree surveys, assessing the significance of trees on your site and their potential impact on your project. This crucial step ensures informed planning and design decisions that respect the existing natural landscape.

Categorization of Trees: We categorise trees based on their health, importance, and potential impact on the development, guiding decisions on tree retention or removal to balance development needs with environmental preservation.

Tree Protection Plans (TPPs): Our TPPs are designed to protect significant trees during construction. These plans include measures like physical barriers and root protection zones to prevent damage to trees, ensuring their health and vitality are maintained.

Root Protection Areas (RPA): We identify RPAs around trees to minimise soil disturbance, protecting the critical root systems essential for tree health and stability.

Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA): Our AIAs evaluate the potential impact of proposed developments on trees, suggesting design adjustments or construction methods to protect significant trees.

Mitigation Measures: We offer guidance on implementing mitigation measures to minimise adverse impacts on trees, including alternative designs and protective measures during construction.

Post-Construction Care: Recognizing the importance of long-term tree health, we provide post-construction care plans for retained trees, ensuring their continued contribution to the local ecosystem.
