Our services.

Tree Condition SUrveys and reports

We provide detailed tree condition and safety surveys for estates, schools, housing associations, and local authorities — helping organisations manage their tree stock responsibly and cost-effectively. Each survey assesses the health, structure, and safety of trees across your sites, with clear prioritised recommendations for maintenance or further inspection.

Our reports are proportionate, defensible, and compliant with recognised guidance and the Occupiers’ Liability Acts (1957 & 1984), providing the assurance that your duty of care is being met across every site you manage.

BS5837 SUrveys and Reports

We provide comprehensive BS5837:2012 tree surveys, Arboricultural Impact Assessments (AIA), and Arboricultural Method Statements (AMS) to support planning and development at every stage. Our reports identify tree constraints, assess potential impacts, and set out clear, practical guidance to ensure compliance with planning policy and British Standards.

Working closely with architects, planners, and developers, we produce precise data and clear mapping that integrates seamlessly with design layouts and planning submissions. Whether it’s a single residential plot or a large-scale infrastructure scheme, we deliver proportionate, defensible advice that keeps your project compliant and on schedule.

site appraisals & Feasability reports

Our site appraisals and feasibility reports provide early-stage arboricultural input to guide design and layout before formal planning begins. By identifying tree constraints, opportunities, and potential conflicts at the outset, we help developers and designers make informed decisions that reduce project risk, save time, and avoid costly redesigns later.

Each report combines clear mapping, measured tree data, and expert interpretation in line with BS5837:2012, ensuring your development proposals start on a realistic and defensible footing.

Arboricultural Supervision, Watching Briefs & Site Monitoring

We provide professional arboricultural supervision and watching briefs for construction and infrastructure projects, ensuring trees are protected and works remain compliant with BS5837:2012 and planning requirements.

We regularly oversee complex operations within Root Protection Areas (RPAs), working closely with site teams to maintain progress without compromising root integrity. Our consultants are experienced in a wide range of sensitive techniques, including vacuum excavation (Vac-Ex), air spading, manual excavation, and directional drilling — each applied carefully to minimise disturbance and preserve tree health.

We take a practical, solution-focused approach on site: giving clear, defensible guidance, supporting engineers and contractors, and producing concise supervision records that satisfy planning authorities. Whether managing service installation, monitoring excavation near retained trees, or advising on temporary surfacing and access routes, Rooted Solutions provides the confidence that your trees — and your compliance — are in safe hands.
