Luke Steer
Treescapes Consultancy Ltd.
We work throughout the UK but our core area is the North of England, the Scottish Borders and the Central Belt.
We often prepare management plans for important or historic treescapes.
We use a gps that is accurate to about 60cm and a laser rangefinder to accurately plot trees on digital plans. We then input the tree data into a relational database developed in-house from which we print the information included in our reports. The database is also programmed to print 'Pricing Sheets' and a work schedule should work be necessary. Once the information is in the database we can also print re-survey sheets that enable us to carry out subsequent inspections quicker and therefore often cheaper than the initial one. We have developed this system to enable us to manage trees and their related liabilities in a cost effective manor that meets our and our clients duty of care.
