Defects tell only part of the story
Assess both tree condition and the people or property that could be affected. A visible defect alone does not describe the entire risk.

Reading the tree and its surroundings
Who or what could be affected?
Frequency of occupancy matters when prioritising action. Paths, parking areas and buildings should be identified during the inspection.
Choosing a proportionate response
Retention, intervention or further investigation
Possible responses include managing access, pruning, further investigation or removal. The recommendation should follow the actual findings.
Conditions that call for another inspection
Storm damage, soil disturbance and new symptoms can justify another inspection. A previous assessment should not be treated as a permanent guarantee.
What the inspection needs to cover
Share the tree’s recent history
Explain when you first noticed the concern and whether anything has changed. Storm damage, excavation, a new driveway, soil movement or a change in canopy appearance can help the assessor decide what to examine. Send older photographs if they show how the condition developed.
Identify occupied and restricted areas
Mark the locations of paths, play areas, buildings and parking beside the tree, and describe when people use them. Include locked gates or boundaries that limit inspection access. This information helps define the assessment area; it is not a substitute for inspecting the tree.
From findings to practical action
Turn recommendations into priorities
Ask the report to distinguish urgent measures from work that can be scheduled or monitored. Recommendations should relate to the observed defects, the likely consequences and site use. If additional investigation is proposed, clarify what question it is intended to resolve before committing to tree work.
Keep a record of changes
Retain the findings, photographs and any recommended review date. A change in tree condition, occupancy or surrounding ground may justify an earlier reassessment. A report describes the evidence available at the inspection; it cannot guarantee that a living tree will never fail.
