BS 3998:1989 & BS 3998:2010

Our arboricultural and tree surgery services are undertaken in accordance with current research and developments on tree health and maintenance.

These standards cover all aspects of work undertaken on trees. These recommendations are to protect the client and inform them about the processes any tree work entails. This starts with the assessment and inspection phases before work takes place, covering all detailed operations. Such operations include pruning, treatment of wounds, and crown management.

BS 3998:2010 is a full revision of the previous 1989 standard. Updates and expansions on the previous standard include changes in legal and working practices concerning established trees. This accounts for underlying issues such as tree longevity, value for local amenity, landscape, biodiversity, and heritage.
