Independent arboricultural consultancy for clients who want the right advice first — whether the issue is planning, property, tree safety or specialist investigation.
Arbor Cultural provides consultancy rather than contracting for pruning or felling. That separation helps keep recommendations focused on the site, tree and evidence, not on selling follow-on tree work.
With 20+ years of arboricultural experience, we understand how tree constraints, planning reports and supporting evidence fit into development decisions across South East local authority areas.
Where appropriate, specialist tools such as Arbotom sonic tomography and Resistograph testing can provide additional information about internal condition to support proportionate tree-management decisions.
We set out the proposed scope and fee before work begins, so you know what the consultancy is intended to cover. If the enquiry is unclear, we help identify the appropriate service first.
