“I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.”

Henry David Thoreau, 1817-1862

Subsidence and trees

Have you received a letter from a firm acting for an insurer of an adjoining property asking you to remove trees? We can advise, and perhaps save your trees. We have also investigated on behalf of insurance companies, structural engineers, loss adjusters, surveyors and private clients, over 1400 cases of suspected subsidence in relation to trees or of risk of subsidence in the last ten years. We have the right approach to this sometimes emotive area of practice: minimising tree loss without inappropriate tree retentions or treatment. We provide advice on choice and siting of appropriate replacement trees.

If you are in such a situation, we will be pleased to help you—please contact us.
