PROFESSIONAL TREE RISK MANAGEMENT SURVEYS FOR SCHOOLS, ACADEMIES & EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES.
Local arboricultural specialists providing practical, budget-conscious tree safety inspections and long-term management plans.
Our Approach
At Dickinson Tree Company, we understand that managing trees within schools, colleges, and educational sites is about far more than simply keeping grounds tidy — it’s about safety, responsibility, and peace of mind.
Schools have a legal duty of care to ensure that trees on their grounds are appropriately inspected and managed to help protect pupils, staff, visitors, and neighbouring properties. Having a professional tree risk management plan in place is an important part of demonstrating that your site is being managed responsibly and proactively.
Working With School Budgets
We fully appreciate the financial pressures schools and educational facilities face.
That’s why we always aim to work practically and realistically with available budgets wherever possible. Our focus is on helping schools manage risk responsibly without recommending unnecessary work or creating avoidable expense.
We also offer discounted initial surveys for new education customers, with pricing based on the size of the site and number of trees.
Whether you need an initial tree survey, ongoing inspection programme, or advice on managing specific concerns, we’re always happy to help.
If you’d like to discuss your site or arrange an informal visit, please get in touch with our team today.
A Practical, Long-Term Approach
We believe tree management works best when it’s proactive rather than reactive.
Our aim is not to carry out a survey, hand over a report, and disappear. We work closely with schools to build long-term relationships that help identify and manage potential risks before they become larger problems or unexpected costs.
As a small local company, we offer a far more personal service than larger contractors. We take the time to understand your site, your priorities, and your budget, helping you plan sensible, manageable maintenance over time.
Why Professional Arboricultural Surveys Matter
We regularly see schools relying on basic tree inspections carried out internally or as part of general grounds maintenance contracts. While these inspections are often carried out with good intentions, they are not always completed by qualified arboricultural specialists.
Trees can develop defects, decay, structural weaknesses, or disease that may not be obvious without specialist knowledge and experience.
Our surveys provide:
Professional tree risk assessments by experienced arboricultural specialists
Clear, easy-to-understand reporting
Prioritised recommendations based on risk and practicality
Sensible maintenance planning to help spread costs over time
Documentation to support your duty of care and risk management responsibilities
