Professional Tree Health Reports You Can Trust

 When it comes to trees, early detection is key. Our tree health reports provide an expert diagnosis of the condition, structure, and safety of your trees. 


Using industry-recognised assessment techniques, we evaluate:


  • Signs of decay, disease, or fungal infection
  • Structural integrity (lean, limb stability, trunk condition)
  • Root plate health and soil condition
  • Presence of pests or invasive species
  • Long-term viability and risk factors

All assessments are carried out by a degree-qualified arborist who follows British Standards (BS3998) and best industry practice. Whether you need advice before pruning, removing a tree, or submitting a planning application, our reports are accurate, unbiased, and legally compliant.

Wildlife Inspections That Respect Nature

 

In the Highlands, wildlife and tree care go hand in hand. Our wildlife inspections are tailored to detect and safeguard:


  • Nesting birds (especially during spring/summer)
  • Roosting bats (protected under UK law)
  • Other protected species such as squirrels and owls


We will never proceed with any work if wildlife is present.
Disturbing a bat roost can result in a £5,000 fine—but more importantly, it harms native species. We stop all operations if nesting or protected activity is detected, and reschedule only when safe and lawful to do so.

When Should You Book a Tree Report or Wildlife Inspection?

 

You may need a professional assessment if:


  • Your tree shows signs of fungus, dieback, or cracking
  • You're planning building works near trees
  • You’re applying for planning permission
  • You want peace of mind about tree safety
  • You’re managing land with protected wildlife


We serve private homeowners, landlords, estates, and smallholder properties throughout Dingwall, Inverness, and the Highlands.

How the Process Works

 

  1. Initial Consultation – We’ll gather details and arrange a site visit
  2. On-site Assessment – Visual and physical inspection, root zone check
  3. Wildlife Survey (if needed) – Compliance check for protected species
  4. Detailed Report – A written summary with findings & recommendations
  5. Follow-up Advice – Next steps including tree care or conservation actionYou’ll receive actionable, honest guidance from a trusted professional, not a contractor pushing unnecessary work.
