What makes quality arboriculture essential for commercial sites

Trees are valuable assets that need specialist attention to thrive. Professional arboriculture covers all aspects of tree management, from planting young specimens to caring for mature trees throughout their lifetime. Our team handles crown reduction, deadwood removal, tree health assessments, and emergency storm damage responses. We understand how trees grow and what they need at different stages, which means we can spot problems early and take action before small issues become expensive emergencies.

Our Three-Step Arboriculture Process

1

Site assessment and tree survey

Our arborists visit your property to examine each tree’s health, structure and any potential risks to surrounding areas.

2

Planned work execution

We carry out the agreed tree work using modern climbing equipment and techniques, ensuring minimal disruption to your site operations.

3

Waste removal and site clearance

All branches, logs and debris are removed from site, with wood chip and timber recycled wherever possible.

Comprehensive tree surgery and maintenance solutions

Commercial properties face unique challenges when managing trees. Overhanging branches can interfere with buildings, roots may affect foundations, and diseased trees pose safety risks to staff and visitors. We provide targeted solutions including crown lifting to improve clearance, pollarding to control size, and selective thinning to reduce wind resistance. Our arborists follow British Standards (BS 3998) for all tree work, ensuring every cut promotes healthy growth whilst maintaining the tree’s natural shape. Whether you need regular maintenance visits or one-off surgery projects, we deliver results that protect both your trees and your property.

Navigating legal requirements for commercial tree work

Many trees on commercial sites are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or fall within Conservation Areas, which means you need permission before carrying out work. Our team helps you understand these restrictions and can handle the application process on your behalf. We liaise directly with local authority tree officers across East Anglia to secure the necessary consents, saving you time and ensuring all work remains fully compliant. This service is particularly valuable for retail developments, business parks and healthcare sites where tree management must balance safety needs with preservation duties.

Frequently asked questions

Contact Anglian Land Services today to discuss your needs. We’re happy to offer free advice, site visits, and no-obligation quotes.

Most commercial properties benefit from professional tree surveys every two to three years, though high-risk areas like car parks or playgrounds may need annual inspections. Regular assessments identify hazards before they become dangerous, helping you meet health and safety obligations whilst planning maintenance budgets effectively.

Crown reduction involves carefully shortening branches to reduce a tree's overall size whilst maintaining its natural appearance. This technique is useful when trees have outgrown their space, threaten buildings or utilities, or show signs of structural weakness. Unlike topping, proper crown reduction preserves the tree's health and doesn't create ugly regrowth.

We can carry out essential safety work at any time of year, but we carefully check for active nests before starting and adjust our approach to protect wildlife. Non-urgent work is typically scheduled outside the main nesting period (March to August) to avoid disturbing breeding birds, in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

Yes, we offer rapid response for dangerous trees following severe weather across East Anglia. Our team can make fallen or damaged trees safe, remove hazardous branches, and clear access routes. We prioritise emergency calls and aim to attend commercial sites within hours of contact to minimise risk and disruption to your operations.
