Tree Risk Management

Welcome to the G. Trott Tree Consultancy page dedicated to Tree Risk Management and Tree Owner's Duty of Care. I understand that managing trees on your property can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to ensuring safety while balancing budget concerns. That's where I come in.

Its about risk management, not defining a tree as “safe”

Trees should’’t be defined as “safe” or “unsafe”, there is always a risk involved. This is where I come in, utilising the Quantified Tree Risk Management (QTRA) methodology, I can provide you with a “risk of harm” rating for your tree or trees which relates to the worldwide accepted “tolerability of risk” framework, allowing you to make both informed and accurate decisions regarding the management of your trees.

Turns out Winnie the Pooh had it right all along!
