Welcome!
Welcome to the home page of Martin Dobson Associates, arboricultural consultancy. Arboriculture is the practice of caring for non-forestry trees, that is, trees in parks, gardens, or streets, for example.
An arboricultural consultant is qualifed to advise on the technical aspects of tree management - a tree surgeon, on the other hand, is qualifed to carry out the practical side of tree care.
So what kind of things might an arboricultural consultant help with?
- Advice on how to obtain permission to fell or prune a protected trees
- Reports to accompany a planning application
- Expert Witness evidence when trees are involved in litigation, for example if a tree causes subsidence or personal injury
- Tree safety inspections and recommendations for suitable tree works
