In recent years, the arboricultural industry has seen a rise in technology, from drones and mobile mapping to AI-assisted assessments. While innovation can be useful, nothing replaces the value of professional experience and on-site expertise when it comes to accurate tree surveying and compliance.
At North West Tree Management, we carry out BS5837 and tree condition surveys across North Wales, the North West, and the North of England, blending modern techniques with professional knowledge to deliver reports that stand up to planning requirements and real-world conditions.
Technology Has Its Place, But It’s Only Part of the Picture
Digital tools can support data collection and efficiency, but tree surveying isn’t just about measurements or models. Every site, tree, and project is different, and interpreting that information correctly requires experience, context, and professional judgement.
Our approach combines:
Modern reporting systems for clarity and accuracy
In-person tree inspections to identify health, structure, and safety risks
Expert assessment of site constraints and development impact
This balance ensures your report is not only data-driven but also realistic, reliable, and compliant with BS5837:2012 standards.

The Human Element Behind Every Great Tree Survey
While technology continues to evolve, the heart of arboriculture remains human. It's the experience, knowledge, and integrity of a qualified consultant that ensures every tree is assessed fairly, safely, and with care for both the environment and your project.
That’s what we’re proud to deliver at North West Tree Management, accurate, professional, and trustworthy tree surveys designed to protect your investment and the natural landscape around it.
