Book a Free ConsultationHousing associations often manage hundreds or even thousands of trees across multiple estates. We provide a complete range of arboricultural services designed to help organisations meet their duty of care obligations while maintaining attractive and safe communal spaces.
Planned tree maintenance programmes help housing associations reduce reactive callouts, control long-term costs and maintain safe outdoor environments for residents.
Our cyclical tree maintenance programmes are tailored to the size and requirements of each estate. We can create scheduled programmes covering tree inspections, pruning, crown management and remedial works, allowing facilities managers to budget effectively and maintain full visibility of future tree management requirements.
Regular tree inspections are an essential part of managing risk across housing association land.
Our professional tree surveys provide detailed reports covering tree condition, risk category, recommended actions and priority levels. Reports can be used to demonstrate compliance, support insurance requirements and help asset managers prioritise maintenance budgets.
Where development projects are planned, we can also provide BS5837 surveys and associated arboricultural reports.
Storm damage, fallen trees and dangerous branches can create significant safety risks on housing estates.
Our emergency tree work service provides rapid response support across Essex to make trees safe and minimise disruption. Fast action can help protect residents, vehicles, buildings, footpaths and communal infrastructure following severe weather or unexpected tree failures.
Where trees become dangerous, diseased or structurally unsound, safe removal may be necessary.
We carry out tree felling and removal across housing association estates using qualified operatives and specialist equipment. Our team regularly assists housing associations with the management of ash dieback, which is affecting significant numbers of mature ash trees throughout Essex.
Tree stumps left in communal areas can create trip hazards, reduce accessibility, and negatively impact the appearance of estates.
Our stump grinding and stump removal service completely removes unwanted stumps, allowing the area to be reinstated for grass, landscaping, or future planting.
We can advise housing associations on the most suitable approach depending on the species, location, and intended future use of the area.
Routine pruning and crown reduction help maintain healthy trees while reducing risks to nearby buildings, roads, parked vehicles and pedestrian routes.
Our team provides professional crown management services that balance tree health with the practical needs of estate management.
Many trees located on housing association land may be protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs).
Before any works are undertaken, we carry out all necessary checks and can manage applications with local authorities on behalf of housing associations. This ensures all works remain compliant with current legislation and local planning requirements.
