Expert Tree Care. Meticulous by Nature.
Tree Surveys and Consultancy Services
Professional tree surveys and arboricultural consultancy provide essential information to support safe management, planning applications, and development projects. Accurate assessment and clear reporting enable informed decisions to be made with confidence.
At Oakhurst Arboriculture, surveys and consultancy services are delivered by experienced arborists with a thorough understanding of tree condition, risk, and regulatory requirements. Advice is practical, proportionate, and clearly presented.
About this Service
For Alex and the team, good arboriculture begins with understanding the tree before recommending any work. Each survey considers the tree’s species, age, health, structure, surroundings and future management, allowing potential concerns to be identified and addressed at the right time.
From assessing a single tree in a private garden to reviewing trees across an estate, commercial site or proposed development, Oakhurst provides clear, practical advice tailored to the property and the client’s objectives. Where required, surveys and recommendations can also support planning matters, protected-tree applications and longer-term management.

Our Approach
Why work with Oakhurst?
Alex’s advice is grounded in both technical knowledge and years of practical, hands-on arboricultural experience. Having worked on everything from individual garden trees to complex estates and sensitive sites, he understands how recommendations translate into safe, effective work in the real world.
The team takes time to explain its findings clearly, without unnecessary jargon or overcomplicated recommendations. Every assessment is approached with professional integrity and meticulous attention to detail, providing proportionate advice, a clear course of action and confidence in the decisions made about your trees.
We provide consultancy and tree survey services throughout Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire, including Oxford, Henley-on-Thames, Marlow, Beaconsfield, High Wycombe, Maidenhead, Reading, Windsor and surrounding areas.
For the right project, our team can also undertake specialist arboricultural work further afield.
