Tree Inventories/Surveys
Natural Directions applies the guiding principles of arboriculture, the science-based management, proper understanding, and care of landscape trees. Because safe, healthy, attractive trees are tremendous assets to any site, proper management of these valuable resources begins with an expert assessment of the property’s trees. By measuring and marking trees of a given size during pre-construction planning, identifying the species and rating for health, we’re able to provide a solid snapshot of the property’s tree.

Natural Directions provides the required tree inspections and surveys typically required for:

• safety/hazard management.

• site development/planning and environmental/engineering projects.

• management of estates, large gardens, and amenity woodland.

Tree Survey Audits
To ensure accuracy of your inventory, Natural Directions evaluates the survey report of an existing tree inventory conducted by another firm or surveyor.
