Q. What maintenance is an owner required to carry out?
A land owner is charged with the responsibility of maintaining all trees on his land in a safe condition.

Q. How will I know if my tree is safe?
Responsible tree owners can have their trees inspected on an annual basis by a qualified and experienced arboriculturalist. The arborist will consider the size, condition and species of tree, as well as its position in relation to buildings, footpaths and highways. From this the surveyor will make recommendations for the necessary works to be undertaken. You should check that your arboricultural consultant carries professional indemnity insurance.
