Tree services: local authorities

We offer a full suite of arboriculture services including a variety of services specifically for local authorities.

Tree Officer cover

We are able to provide short, medium or long-term solutions for local authorities requiring Tree Officer cover. Our fully qualified and experienced arboriculturists can assist in all aspects of the role, including planning, tree management and operations.

TPO reviews

Finding the time to review and update old Tree Preservation Orders can be almost impossible for many Tree Officers, Thomson Ecology’s arboriculturists are here to help. From the paper review stage to re-surveying, we provide a methodical and accurate service to ensure that your TPOs are up-to-date and defensible.

Tree surveys

Rolling surveys are essential for the good management of large tree stocks. However they can also be very time consuming and are therefore often overlooked. We can undertake large scale surveys using existing in-house tree management systems or can set up an entirely new database where this is needed. From highway trees to trees in parks, open spaces and council housing land, we offer a high quality, efficient and accurate service.

Independent arboricultural consultancy

It is often necessary to obtain an independent opinion on contentious planning issues. Whether it be an objective assessment of tree condition, amenity value or retention potential, we provide an unbiased service backed up by full written reports. Outcomes are supported by clear defensible decision making systems such as TEMPO or the Helliwell system.

Tree decay detection

We offer internal decay investigation services, utilising the Resistograph microdrill. All investigations are accompanied by a full written report detailing the methods used, results and recommendations for future management.

Integrated ecology service

As part of an ecological consultancy, we can provide a cost-efficient integrated tree and ecology service when protected species, such as bats, are highlighted during a tree survey or tree works. Our team of highly experienced licensed ecologists produce solutions to ecological issues as and when they arise and deliver results on time and to budget.
