For the past eight years, Climbers Way Tree Care has worked closely with Savills Estate Agents, providing expert tree surveys across multiple sites in Oxfordshire and Hampshire. These estates, spanning bridleways, public footpaths, and high-traffic areas, require ongoing monitoring to ensure tree safety and longevity.
Our Approach: Proactive Tree Management
We conduct walkover defect surveys, identifying potential hazards and categorizing them by urgency. This method ensures that any dangerous trees or structural weaknesses are addressed promptly, keeping landowners compliant and the public safe.
Each tree is assessed for:
- Structural weaknesses
- Signs of disease or decay
- Overhanging limbs in high-traffic zones
- Root instability or soil movement
Once surveyed, our reports provide clear, prioritised action plans. Remedial works are assigned a time category based on risk level, ensuring that high-risk trees are dealt with swiftly while lower-priority concerns are scheduled appropriately.
High-Traffic Areas Demand High Standards
Many of the surveyed areas include bridleways, footpaths, and busy public routes. These locations present unique challenges, as they see constant use from pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders. Any unmanaged tree risks could pose serious liability concerns for landowners and estate managers.
By systematically assessing these areas, we help prevent incidents, mitigate risks, and ensure the longevity of these green spaces for both public enjoyment and estate sustainability.
Remedial Works: Our Role in Follow-Up Action
Following our surveys, we either:
- Complete the recommended tree surgery and maintenance ourselves, ensuring expert execution.
- Provide detailed reports to estate managers who then allocate the work to other contractors.
When tasked with remedial works, our tree surgery team handles:
- Deadwood removal to prevent falling hazards
- Tree felling for severely compromised trees
- Crown reductions and pruning to maintain safety clearances
- Bracing and support systems for structurally weak trees
